Ahh, the power of 2. 2 U's (or V's) are better than 1.
Honestly, maybe double U looks like double V because a true double U looks like a pair of boobs, and the English wouldn't want people laughing at that everytime they write something. (That would make some really funny stories, though).
UU

No, I was referring to the spanish alphabet. I forgot to mention, though, that all of the vowels are short in pronounciation.
So really, V = va (with a long a). But in spanish, it would be V = ve (with a short e).
Here is the spanish alphabet (remember, all vowels are short):
a - ah
b - be
c - ce ch - che e - e (pronounced like the long a in english).
f - efe
g - he
h - hache (or ache. H's are always silent in spanish. Except for in front of a c, it really doesn't need to be in the alphabet).
i - i (pronounced like a long e, but the vowel itself is short when in words)
j - je (or hay in english)
k - k
l - ele ll - elle (or aya, with all of the a's long). m - eme
n - ene ñ - eñe (in english, enyay).
o - oh
p - pe
q - cu (coo, with oo as in cool)
r - ere
rr - erre (rr is the rolled r, which I have a ton of trouble pronouncing)
s - ese
t - te
u - oo
v - ve
w - double ve
x - equis
y - i griega
z - ze
(note: Red letters denote letters that used to be in the Spanish Alphabet, but were taken out a few years ago).
Well uh.. my name starts with a W , weither that be a VV or a UU, my name starts with a W! w00tsiccles *Parades ring out in all cities across the globe other than in Kansas*
