Edit: Given the number of downvotes I’m getting, I’m guessing a lot of people have just learned that they’ve been pronouncing St. John wrong. Don’t beat yourselves up. It’s not like it’s a terribly common name.

You don’t live in Britain where:
I live near a village called St John’s Town of Dalry and no one says sinjin nor have I heard anyone’s name referred to that way.
Lived there for years and years. Never heard it pronounced that way. Strange
Am in UK, and yeah, I’ve definitely heard it pronounced that way, sometimes combined with a second name, eg St John-Smith = Sinjin-Smith
I think it’s a thing posh people use sometimes.
