Why do we call it a "Double U" when it looks like a "Double V"?

Man, you need to chill & let the shower thoughts over take you.
For example, did you ever think we call it "Sand" because it's between the "Sea" & "Land"?

no
and the sand in the deserts?
Absolutely correct. W is pronounced as english V, letter V is sometimes pronounced as english V, sometimes as an F. Don't even ask.
In classical latin, there was only V, which had either a sound (like in "ultimate") or a [w] sound (like in "wut") Notice that the two sounds are almost identical (try saying "uat" instead of "what" you will find that they are very similar, if not practically the same)
Over time the [w] sound of V turned into a [v] sound (like in "venison"), which made the two slightly different sounds that V represented into not-so-similar. So at some point (very late, actually) people started to use U (which was a cursive version of V) to represent the sound and left V to represent the [v] sound
Germanic languages however actually has a [w] sound when they adopted the latin alphabet. So they used two V's to represent that sound (notice that at that point there was no distinction of V and U, they were the same letter just in different styles/fonts, even though in different places in latin V made different sounds. That's why "double v" and "double u" wouldn't be different from each other. It was way later that U and V were considered different letters) so after a while W was born, making a [w] sound.
But after a while in most germanic languages, there was a sound shift exactly as in latin, [w] turned into [v]. That's why germans today use W for a [v] sound. English did not have that sound shift so we keep using W for [w].

Well, at least I can clean the back of my head, Kitty. Which is more than more than I can say about your kind...

When you remember things, you're recalling the last time you remembered something. Think of it as making a painting of a painting. The details will never be exactly right.
