That's just plain wrong.

They spell it "atee-atee walker", too? I'm well aware the precedent exists. It is, however, both inconsistent and a sin against god and man.

Arturito*

In case you don’t want to watch the video, Diego Luna grew up watching Star Wars in Spanish. He heard R2’s name as “Arturito,” which is the diminutive version of Arthur. So like “Lil Arty.”

That's cute~ 8:07

Honestly, I find it a bit of charming Star Wars history, the transcription of the alphanumeric names. While I find it a little grating in newer contexts, it reminds me of a better time. You know, before the special editions, before the prequels and before Disney. Star Wars felt different back then.

In any case, it's not really a serious quibble, by willingness to argue the point (and the severity with which I would do so) is in proportion to how hard the other side of the argument wants to engage. S'just a silly thing, and if you care enough to argue the point, we're already on the same side.
