Edit: Given the number of downvotes I’m getting, I’m guessing a lot of people have just learned that they’ve been pronouncing St. John wrong. Don’t beat yourselves up. It’s not like it’s a terribly common name.

My best guess would be that saintclair’s prononciation was influenced by french, as in french the “t” is pronounced while st john might be more “english”, leading to the “t” being silent
