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

First name:
For most people, Achim doesn't sound very German. But it is the German short form of Joachim. Most native English speakers associate Achim with an Arabic country because of the pronunciation. Many pronounce it like Akim. The “ch” sounds very harsh to them and is at least as hard to pronounce as the “th” is for us Germans. In German, it sounds soft.
Wikipedia about Achim.
There is even a city in northern Germany called Achim.

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