We watched the 1972 version of Sleuth the other day. In it, Laurence Olivier twice pronounced St. John as sinjin.
Really? Is that how it would be pronounced in Britain?
Great movie, BTW.

I've only really heard it that way when it's part of someone's name. If it's an actual saint then we'd say it as you expect.
