[Opinions] wdyto Joachim?
Been thinking about this name for a while... wdyto Joachim and which pronunciation do you prefer? I like the German pronunciations but I can't decide which one I like better! (but really I don't even know if I like the name at all.)

I've always kind of been drawn to it, too. I was more interested in it after I met a guy by that name and thought it was pretty neato to see in real life. I pronounce it YO-a-kim.

I like it alright, and I also like Joakim.
I would have been named Fredrik or Joakim if I had been a boy.

I like Joachim (much prefer Joakim) but I disliked it for a long time because I went to school with a really mean Joakim.
I now work with a guy named Joakim and he's such a sweet person. I think he made me see the name in a different light. His middle name is Floyd.
I would pronounce it yo-ah-kim (probably more like yoo-ah-kim actually). I quite like the English pronunciation too.

I know a Joakim who is Swedish. I am not sure how it is really pronounced though. I think it is yoa-kim.
