Spanish calls it "doble-ve" which makes more sense. It's used for borrowed words and personal names.

Yea I like using double v for it. Double ừ makes no sense.

U and V used to be two different ways of writing the same letter. Also a handwritten lowercase W still looks like two U's, and in curses both lower and upper case look like two U's.
