Take a look at the trailer for Steven Spielberg’s The Adventures of Tintin (a delightful movie, even though I had a really hard time getting used to these characters speaking English) and listen to the way Tintin pronounces his own name in English:
Is a nasalization, which while is distinct from an alveolar fricative is difficult to describe to someone who isn’t French, Polish, etc - I was trying!
I could not find it on the wikipedia but I did find other options to listen to it. It does not sound like whatever you wrote earlier. The i is nowhere to be found but the n is really there, just as you said unclear.
Is Tintin not called Tintin??? I am a bit confused about the latter

I can only assume that the way he says it in the movie is the normal way it’s said in English and indeed, that sounds weird.
Tinntinn vs Ti~ti~
So long i or what? I don’t really ubderstand your answer
In French it’d be closed to Tonton / Tantan but almost don’t pronounce the n’s.
We don’t pronounce the n at all. “in” is its own sound, independent of “i” or “n”.

It sounds kind of like we pronounce sntntn. French spelling is odd
I just guess it’s about French pronunciation. The tin is pronounced with a nasal long open vowel instead of a clear n.
PS you can go to french Wikipedia entry for Tintin and listen to it.
