I love this name, but don't know how to pronounce it either.

I'd say loo THEE (like theatre) in

Since with your example of theatre, you said it the best. This for me, too!

This is how I would personally pronounce it but don't ask why lol...
Lou-tee-in

Don't ask lol

Because I'm a big geek, I watched the part in Lord of the Rings where Aragorn is singing about Luthien, and he pronounced it loo-thee-en. :D
