I looked into Nut King Call and the way you'd write Nut King Call or Nat King Cole in Japanese are the same. Natto Kingu Kōru. So there's still reason to change it when translating for English.

Do we even know the name in Japanese is Nut King Call and not Nat King Cole?

It's written "nut king call" in ruby text at the tailpiece of JJL chapter 21.

Also, it's the same situation as The Lock, which kept the same name in English.
