What’s your opinion of St.[name]John[/name] (pn Sin-gin) as a first name?
I fell in love with thename the first time I heard it, and I’m a bit of a stickler for sticking to original spellings of names, so wouldn’t really want to go with [name]Sinjin[/name] or [name]Sinjon[/name] etc. I love the way its pn, but is the spelling just asking for trouble? Thoughts?
Well I would think that most ppl would pronounce it as it appears and perhaps it’s a lot to live up to, having your name start with “saint”? I have never seen this as a first name and certainly not this pronounciation…sorry.
I first encountered this name when reading [name]Jane[/name] Eyre. I think this name is more common in the UK. I’m not sure it would work well in the US (where most people probably haven’t heard it pronounced).
I like the name, but depending on your location it could be a hassle.
OK, you wanted honesty, right? I think St. [name]John[/name] is insanely pretentious and over the top. Unless it was a SUPER meaningful family name, I think it is off limits. (Esp in the States-maybe it might be more usable in [name]Britain[/name], IDK)
