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

I'd say loo THEE (like theatre) in

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

Don't ask lol

[giveitfullheart.livejournal.com]

maybe because I took French and that seems French in my weird mind :-P

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

Lue-thee-in.

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
