It goes back to the days of Latin, since unlike the Greek alphabet, which had actual names for its letters (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon etc.), it mostly took the sound that the letter stood for and if needed added an /e/ (short or long) to it.

Letter names exist in parallel with their phonic sounds to make it clear which letter is being said or spoken, and to make it unambiguous.

Letter names often contain their corresponding sounds, which can be in the form of a consonant-vowel (CV) or vowel-consonant (VC) pattern. For example, the letter B has a CV pattern, while the letter F has a VC pattern.

Letter names often contain their corresponding sounds, which can be in one of two patterns: consonant-vowel (CV) or vowel-consonant (VC). For example, the letter B follows the CV pattern of /consonant sound/ + /i/, while the letter F follows the VC pattern of /ε/ + /consonant sound/.
