I genuinely remember asking "pourquoi ils ne l'appelent pas SpongeBob aussi?" to whoever made those French dubs. It kinda made me pretty confused.

And yes, I was an avid SpongeBob fan back in the day. Not so much anymore.

Old french : esponge -> éponge (french) | sponge (english)

As you said it's old french, we just make it shorter and easier to pronounce
