Vykkers isn't pronounced like Vicars, but rather like the i sound in spike. Perhaps if it was spelt as Vykers it would make more sense, but that's the way it is.
Another thing I thought about the word Munch is that it might come from Munchausen Syndrome. It's a psychological condition in which someone pretends they are sick, or makes themselves sick to gain medical attention. We know that Munch has a broken leg from the bear trap, so he isn't making it up, but maybe the name is some kind of an allusion? It's pure speculation though.
