I could possibly see Satjon (SAinT JOhN)or SINJON (SaINJOhN, but Sinjin makes no sense since there is only one "i" between both names.
Next, who names their kid Saint John? Can you imagine being called "Saint" in school?

Sin Jin is the way they pronounce Saint John in the UK, and it carried over here. As an aside, it was a stupid name to pin on Kanye West's new son, both for teasing reasons and for the implication that Kanye named the kid so because he thinks he's a god. Just sayin'

FYI, if you watch any of the British versions of "Jane Eyre" you'll hear the name of the character St. John Rivers pronounced that way.

Thanks for the info. That would make sense if either the show or the character were British.

I am from the UK and have lived here for all 43 years of my life and have never heard anyone pronounce Saint John as SinJIn St John is pronounced Saint John
There's no point of being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes.

It isn't pronounced Sin Jin, it is pronounced Sinjon and I've heard it plenty of times in reference to a person's name, not the saint.

I guess the way other things get corrupted like Saint Nicholas became Santa Claus.
Europeans would pronounce Saint like SANTit's weird.
