In Vancouver, Canada, we have a journalist named St. John Alexander who pronounces his first name as “Sinjin.” I heard him say it on TV and it sounded weird. His profile even mentions it.

He’s often asked about his name. St. John is originally British and is pronounced “Sinjin.” His parents discovered it in Charlotte Bronte’s novel Jane Eyre.

I will never forget the time I saw my classmate clean his glasses by licking them. It wasn’t a small lick. The lenses were covered in his saliva afterwards. 🤮
