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.

        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.

        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.
