Looking at the name it sounds like he's French

It's a name he adopted while living in Paris, according to Greg Sestero.

The letter W is not very common in French.

Its a purposeful misspelling of "OUIseaux" which is bird en français

Then it's a purposeful mispronunciation as well, because it starts with a "wa" sound.

No like the oi dipthong makes the "wuh" like how a stoner slowly says "whuhhhht"

No, it doesn't. French is my first language. The closest approximation of the word "oiseau" in English would be "wazo."

Im just saying oi can make the w sound. I don't think there's truly a conflict in what is being said.
