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. :)
