HelpRe: Sinjin
in reply to a message by Ismene
I love the sound of Sinjin. But the phonetic spelling puts me off. I much prefer St. John.
[In my nerdier moments I imagine children's names for the couples in "Pride and Prejudice." I have Charlotte Collins giving birth to Winifred and St. John. Winifred pleased Lady Catherine because it was appropriately saintly and non-aristocratic. But she did not approve of St. John. I never worked out how Charlotte got to use St. John instead of John, the safer choice. And yes, I have too much time on my hands sometimes.]
