I do the same. It has always annoyed me that we have a 3 syllable name for the letter W.

Always jangles the nerves hearing people saying
Gee esss dou·ble U 111 2222 333 444 5 for Gun shot wound 111 2222 33333
...and it looks like two vees.
It's been a long time since I've said "www" out loud, but I always say "wuh wuh wuh" (like the first sound in the word "wood").
"vu vu vu" in Italian

Since www is pretty much unnecessary today, I'm hoping it just goes away.
Seems that 'vee vee vee vee vee vee' would be more accurate.
