Well regardless, in other places it would be pronounced with a W. In the states, unless your family is of strong
German origin, hardly anyone would say
Werner with a V. \:
And actually it's said as both ways; ver-ner in
German & verner and also
Werner in
Dutch. So I guess it all depends on where someone is from (:
I'm personally not crazy about the name no matter which way its pronounced so in all honesty, doesn't matter to me which way its said
