My name is Achim Harald Baqué. Contact
I was born in 1968 in former West Germany, where I live and work most of the time.

First name:
For many people, Achim does not sound particularly German. It is, however, the German short form of Joachim. Many native English speakers associate Achim with an Arabic country because of its pronunciation, and many pronounce it like Akim. The “ch” sounds very harsh to them and is at least as difficult to pronounce as the “th” is for us Germans. In German, it sounds much softer.
Wikipedia about Achim.
There is even a city in northern Germany called Achim.

Last name:
Baqué does not sound German either? Well, it is a French name. My ancestors left France in 1789 in a hurry, eventually escaped the revolution on a raft and settled in Germany. For more than 200 years, this branch of the family has lived in Germany. The other half of my ancestors can be traced back to living in Germany for at least 900 years.
