My brain tends to produce the following lexemes: "str" + "f" + "time", so I say, "stir-eff-time". Breaking it up like this helps me know the important bits that denote what the function does.
Sometimes string-for-time but also string-of-time. But I never really thought about.
It's like C's sprintf() sometimes string-printf and others sprint-f.

I tend to think of it as "strafe-time" for some reason 🤷♂️

“striff”-time
In my head, I pronounce it "string format time" or "string formatted time".
string-f-time
Like surftime but with a T.
S-T-R-F Time
I think its from string-formatted-time. In C printf = print formatted.
I will leave it at that, since prononuncing those weird "words" doesnt really matter imo ;)
