From a Western point of view, St. John's and Saint-John are quite interchangeable.
Ask your current Saint-John friends, if you moved to Saskatoon or Regina, would it matter much which one exactly? It's the same to them.
For a real example, Kamloops and Kelowna are easily confused by people in Eastern Canada, I'm sure (even I did it at first!) We have a family friend who relocated to Kamloops, but he might as well be in Kelowna as far as we're concerned.
