Common Mispronunciation: JOE-kwin FEE-nix How It's Actually Pronounced: Wah-KEEN FEE-niks Do you ever stare at this name only to find yourself thinking: "Why must I live in a world where the spelling of a word looks absolutely nothing like the way it's supposed to be pronounced? Where's the sense in that?" Granted, a lot more folk seem to have a grasp on this guy's frankly insane name nowadays, but c'mon... what's really going on here? What's the point of this? We really, really, want to you Joe, Joaquin.
