The character is frequently refered to as "Wham" to sound exactly like his namesake, however, this is a hypercorrection - while syllables ending with "u" sound are indeed used to substitute for single consonants in Japanese due to its phonetic structure, the name "Wamuu" has an additional "u" at the end (ワムウ), creating a long u sound at the end, and is not identical to the Japanese katakana transcription of its namesake band (ワム).
