V for Vernon. Dub is short for "double-you" his last initial.

V for his first name...
DUB is another way of saying the letter "W"
I have several friends who call me BDub, as my name is Brian Werner.
Vernon is called that not because of the car...but because of his first name starting with a "V" and his last name having a "W" or dub...like if you tried to spell out the letter "W"...
Hope that helps

The same reason us Mets fan call David Wright D-Dub.
Just the initial of his first name and "Dub" like "W", thats all.

V-DUB is an old term used in referring to Volkswagen's beetles. it might be used in reference to his stature.

Because they try and give their players cool names... some even given them to themselves.
Orlando Hudson was O-Dog....
Just stupid if you ask me.
