Why almost all characters names starts with "W" letter?
Titles.

Symbolism, all "good" characters start with W- all "bad" characters start with M (Ie: Maxwell)
Could be a family tradition if all the characters are related, or maybe Maxwell can only affect people who are afflicted with the letter :V

I don't think it's symbolism. Maxwell's real name is William, and Charlie's name doesn't start with a M despite here being the antagonist in DST.

The W names was something that happened by accident at first and Klei just decided to roll with it.

Is it really so unbelievable to think that "William" turning into "Maxwell" is a metaphor for someone "good" turning "evil"?
As for Charlie, she is the breaker of the "cyclum", if you wanted to be nitpicky about it you could say she represents chaos.

But yeah, it was initialy an accident x.x
