Not a single person in my insane number of years has ever said sinjin
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.
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.
Lived there for years and years. Never heard it pronounced that way. Strange
