Not at all! In fact, the only two names I can come up with that are taken
directly from the French are Assurancetourix and Abraracourcix. They make no
sense in Dutch, indeed. But for the rest: all the names, bot of the Gauls and
of the Romans, are translated.
We just got a guest, so I'll have to go prematurely. Otherwise I would have
come up with (too) many examples.
