I'd say: Jo-ah-KHEEM

YO-ah-cheem :-)

I would pronounce it as Joe-a-kim in English.

In Swedish, it is pronounced as Yoo-ah-kim.

I've heard it as ho-ah-KEEM. But I'm pretty sure there are a few different prn. and I'm not sure which is the 'official' one (if there is one). :b

I pronounce Joachim as YO-a-kim. That's how it's done in Denmark.

I say JOH-uh-kim. It's how we pronunce it in my church when we do the "Saints Ann and Joachim pray for us" thing.

I really love the name, and would totally consider using it. I don't like Joaquin at all, though; I don't see its charm at all.
