do you say it as kay-bin or k'bin?
LollerCorleone, 
Kay-bin, obviously.
numbscroll, 
Originally thought cabin but didn’t stick. Kay-bin 100%.
Semmelstulle, Same here. But I’d not be surprised if we have Cabin for kbin at some point.
psyspoop, 
tips fedora "k'bin"
(I say kaybin)
rodhlann, 
M'k'bin

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

SuburbanHaikuist, 
K'bin sounds more like I'm answering a k'nock at the door but with a cold.

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

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:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:KLI_pIqaD.svg
Similar as with the "f" from "Worf", there wouldn't be a straight "non-destructive" way to write it in Klingon.

stopthatgirl7, 
Kay-bin.
Angry_Maple, 
I say kay-bin, because it kind of looks like it should sound like that, imo.
K’bin feels like I’m just trying to make the word as short as possible.
Cabin or Ki-bin both feel like I’m adding new letters just because. To me, it would be like calling reddit “reddita” or “reedit”.
Mars2k21, 
Kay-bin seems like the only correct way. Cabin or K'bin just feels wrong for no particular reason. The name honestly just makes me think of KDE.
Peruvian_Skies, 
"Cabin" with a strong emphasis on the first syllable seems hillarious though.
WorseDoughnut, 
Same, k-anything has just been beaten into my brain as "oh a KDE app!"
BloodSlut, Who the fuck says k’bin?

BloodSlut, pain
fiat_lux, Kay-bin. Mostly because when I first saw the name I assumed it was a KDE package.
Antiscamer7, 
Kibin
minnieo,

Shurimal, I pronounce it "kibin"🙃
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?
scribs, like “book bin” but without the “boo”
jon, 
Kuh-bin, with the first syllable short and emphasis on the second.
