Pronunciations vary, Lash. The real question is 'Do the really cool people pronounce it that way?' I lean toward the Chef Emiril pronunciation, but I think that's just a LaGasse thing.

OK - WTF is VAM?

It's not in the Internet Acronyms Dictionary and I think it was in another thread around here but no 3 letter searches so...

I pronounce it to rhyme with "bam" or "jam".

Me too.... but it sounds better with a drawling southern accent - thus, "Vayam" or "Vayum" depending on how you spell fonetikly

For me it is still an initialism. And I'd be perfectly fine if it went away, though I am amused the few times it has been used in response to what someone else has said.

It's taken on a life of it's own, Alex. Before long it will be in the dictionary, along with 'the word formerly known as iSm's favorite expression of disdain'.
