1998 September 10, Yves Bellefeuille, “Re: demando : kiel nomigas la ne-esperantaj literoj esperante ?”, in soc.culture.esperanto (Usenet), message-ID <[email protected]>:Lau mia sperto, la litero "w" havas kvar nomojn en esperanto: "vavo", "duobla vo", "germana vo" kaj "ghermana vo". Chiuj kvar formoj estas fakte uzataj.- In my experience, the letter "w" has four names in Esperanto: "vavo", "double vee", "German vee" and "Germanic vee". All four forms are actually used.
1999 January 31, Pejno Simono, “Re: Solvoj de la enigmo”, in soc.culture.esperanto (Usenet), message-ID <[email protected]>:La litero w - vavo - estas fakte Ĝermana litero. Ne tre surprize, ĝia alia Esperanta nomo estas "Ĝermana vo".- The letter w - "vavo" - is actually a Germanic letter. Not very surprisingly, its other Esperanto name is "Germanic vee".

Harlow, “Re: Testing an online Esperanto tutorial”, in alt.esperanto.beginner (Usenet), message-ID <[email protected]>:"ĝermana vo" (ne "germana vo") estis la kutima nomo de tiu signo tuj post kiam mi eklernis Esperanton, en 1959 kaj la fruaj 60aj jaroj, aŭ almenaŭ tion instruis la tiutempa Jarlibro de UEA (kiu tiuepoke enhavis liston de liternomoj por perradia diskutado).- "Germanic vee" (not "German vee") was the usual name of this character as soon as I started learning Esperanto, in 1959 and the early 60s, or at least that was taught by the UEA Yearbook of that time (which at that time contained a list of letter names for radio discussion).
