But "wolf" is still "wolf" in English, and if your first name is Wolfgang people are probably going to call you Wolf as an inevitable nickname. Wolfgang is technically only two syllables, but there are so many consonants between that it feels like it "needs" to be shortened even though most two-syllable names don't. And it is longer than other two-syllable names. (Try to say 'Wolfgang' in the same amount of time it takes to say 'Benny'-- it's pretty much impossible. They're both two syllables but one is a lot longer).
