How did Joachim get the nickname 'Pim Pim'?
Here his explanation given in his US Open 2004 interview:
My brother said 'Joa-Pim' instead of 'Joa-chim' when I was born and he was 3 years old. So there are some candies in Sweden that is 'PimPim' so since then I've had it whole of my life.
What is a 'Pim Pim'?
'PimPim' is a well-known Swedish candy that is red and shaped like a boat. Apparently it's berry flavored though I personally have never tasted one.

How do you pronounce his name?
Yo-ah-kim Yo-han-son 
Audio clip is of a Swedish newscaster saying his full name "Joachim Pim Pim Johansson".
Most everyone calls him 'PimPim' so if that's easier you can just call him that. =P
Does he have a girlfriend?
We respect Joachim's privacy and generally try to avoid questions pertaining to his personal life.
I want to write a fan letter to him. What is his address?
Sorry we don't have his contact information.
