[Opinions] Scandinavian pronunciation
I'm from Sweden and Joakim is pronounced Yoo-ah-kim here. WA-keem is not a pronunciation that is used, it is in fact a very strange pronunciation (here) and most people wouldn't get that the pronunciation Wa-keem was the name Joakim.You're not living in any Scandinavian country so obviously you can choose to pronounce it Wa-keem, but it is not the "correct" Scandinavian pronunciation.
