I like wxyz in french. I took french like 30 years ago but the alphabet was sticky and still gets lodged in my brain sometimes due to the last bit.

(This is phonetics/pronunciation, ofc, same melody)

Doobluh-vay (double v), eeks (x, but you saw a mouse), eegrek (????), zed (zed sounds much cooler than zee, which ironically sounds more French to me)

Hands down the best part of the French alphabet.

    I'm Italian and the letters sounds similar to French: doppia vu, ics, ipsilon, zeta. But the standard Italian alphabet only has 21 letters, and w, x and y are not part of the alphabet (together with j and k).

    By the way, the name of "y" in French means "greek i"
