[Opinions] Re: This name is oddly English....
in reply to a message by Bear
I first read "Jane Eyre" at the age of about ten, and I thought that the character of St John's name was, you know, Saint John. I considered it a strange, unwieldy name. It wasn't for quite some time, until I saw a television adaptation, that I realized that it was pronounced Sinjin. I just don't think that it would occur to an American.
