Kay-bin for sure. Never occurred to me to pronounce it the other way
Andjhostet, I wouldn't trust my kids around someone that pronounces it k'bin
LopensLeftArm, K’bin sounds like a Klingon name.

I thought in Klingon they pronounced those kind of names like Kay-bin

I don't think Klingon has a K' anywhere, in fact in Klingon it would be written "Q" and followed by some vowel, like in Qapla' or in Qi'yaH

K'Ehleyr

That's still likely a mistransliteration (or maybe because those are proper names), but Klingon has only "q" and "Q" (which depending on the capitalization are pronounced differently, treated as different letters), technically there's no "K" in the Klingon alphabet, you can see it in the pIqaD:

Similar as with the "f" from "Worf", there wouldn't be a straight "non-destructive" way to write it in Klingon.

Originally thought cabin but didn’t stick. Kay-bin 100%.

Same here. But I’d not be surprised if we have Cabin for kbin at some point.

Native English speakers rarely realize how similar B and V sounds are virtually everywhere else in the world.
Gordon_Freeman, ![]()
In Spanish they are not similar, but both letters represent the same sound, literally.
BloodSlut, Who the fuck says k’bin?
Shurimal, I pronounce it "kibin"🙃
SuburbanHaikuist, ![]()
K'bin sounds more like I'm answering a k'nock at the door but with a cold.
fiat_lux, Kay-bin. Mostly because when I first saw the name I assumed it was a KDE package.
