Help[Opinions] Pronunciation of Joachim...
in reply to a message by Tieliebirds
How do you say Joachim, then? (Out of curiosity.) I've always said JO-ah-kim--I'm pretty sure it's the standard pronunciation in the USA, or at least in the Catholic churches. (We do the whole "Saints Ann and Joachim, pray for us" thing before baptisms. When I was little, I had no clue that was what we were saying--it always sounded like "Saint San Amjoakin" to me.)
I'm afraid I have no love at all for Joaquin--I like how it looks but I hate its pronunciation. I think Jochen is cool, though. Can't bring myself to love Johannes, though. There's something I just find awesome about the name Johann. :)

Joachim's pronunciation
I pronounce this name wa-KEEM. I live in the USA, and I NEVER have heard it pronounced JO-ah-kim. LOL. It just sounds silly to me.
However... my sister just got married at St. Joachim Church, and they call it JO-kim or JO-ah-kim. So okay, I've heard it pronounced that way once, and it was three weeks ago. LOL. I like the wa-KEEM pron. better, but I just think that's because that's what I'm used to.
So... Johann would be my favorite out of the two.
