Artoo-Detoo and See-Threepio are how they're actually named in the script.

It does also say R2-D2 and C-3PO though. Both ways are story accurate.

They also abbreviate them frequently with just "Threepio" and "Artoo" being common.

IMHO, it kinda lends to the idea that they aren't just robots, but are sentient beings deserving of names

I was thinking it would help the actors read out and say their names.
