Ha - keem (probably closer to the original arabic pronunciation of the name) 2. Ha - kim (with short 'kim') I used to think that the second version was easier to pronounce - Hakim was quite an unusual name in the UK! So my oldest friends call me Ha*kim*. Later I discovered that people seem to be more familiar with Ha*keem*, so most people call me that now. 3. 'A - kiim (French) 4. Ah - kim (Italian #1) 5. A - keem (Italian #2) 6. Huh - kim (Finnish) ...and funnily enough my surname is Gunderhan ;-> Cheers, Osfameron (hakim) http://osfameron.perlmonk.org/chickenman/
