And a happy belated new year to you!
> Why Wireshark display IPv1/v6 addresses instead of hostnames (if any)?
That's probably because host name resolution is disabled in your preferences. (And of course I assume you mean IPv4/v6.)
> Can it be configured to have this ?
Yes. The primary preference to enable is "Edit -> Preferences -> Name Resolution -> Resolve network (IP) addresses", but there are other name resolution preferences just under that one that you may or may not also want to enable. You can also cause IP addresses to be resolved by manually adding entries in your hosts file located in your "Personal configuration" folder or in one of the Profiles within that folder if you're using a particular Profile. You can find your "Personal configuration" folder from "Help -> About Wireshark -> Folders". For more information about Name Resolution or Profiles, you can refer to the relevant sections of the Wireshark User Guide that discusses these topics in more detail.

> When one right click on a packet there is no whois ?
Correct.
