do you say it as kay-bin or k'bin?
fiat_lux, Kay-bin. Mostly because when I first saw the name I assumed it was a KDE package.
SuburbanHaikuist, 
K'bin sounds more like I'm answering a k'nock at the door but with a cold.
Shurimal, I pronounce it "kibin"🙃
BloodSlut, Who the fuck says k’bin?
Gordon_Freeman, 
kevin like in "Kevin Bacon"
Itty53, 
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.
stopthatgirl7, 
Kay-bin.
dandan, 
Eggyhead, 
The K has got to be a silent one. This place is 'bin!
Rhaedas, 
No, the leading forward slash is silent.
Cloudless, 
Non-native speaker here. I get kay-bin, but how are you supposed to say k'bin?
toasteranimation, 
like kah-bin
minnieo, 
i do kih bin. kih rhyming with like "fi" in fill or "pi" in pill
jon, 
Kuh-bin, with the first syllable short and emphasis on the second.
scribs, 
like “book bin” but without the “boo”
phi1997, I say kay-bin, but for a third option: cabin
Andjhostet, I wouldn't trust my kids around someone that pronounces it k'bin
LopensLeftArm, K’bin sounds like a Klingon name.
Ragnell, 
I thought in Klingon they pronounced those kind of names like Kay-bin
Ferk, (edited ) 
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
Ragnell, K'Ehleyr
elscallr, Kahless
Ferk, (edited ) 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.

HawkXero, 
Kay-bin for sure. Never occurred to me to pronounce it the other way
