His name is spelled アヴドゥル in Japanese, which reads as 'avuduru'. It uses the katakana ヴ instead of ブ, which is read as 'bu', so the name has always been intended to be written and pronounced with a 'v'. The most correct romanization would be 'Avdul'.

I mean I didn't know they were named after songs until around Part 4 when someone told me. Since the only songs/bands I recognised were like Red Hot Chilli Peppers and there weren't any noticeable ones (for me) until Part 5.
Eh, I guess you are right. Maybe I overreacted a little.
