Okay, I have been wondering for the longest time now. How do you pronounce Llywellyn?

The link Lumia posted is how you would say it in Welsh, which of course would be the correct way. But in English it's usually just said loo-EL-in.

Indeed. I once knew one, 10 000 km away from Wales, whose friends called him Lulu.

That's no good. I knew one in high school who went by Lynn. I don't know why there were two Ns. One makes much more sense.

Llywellyn is a misspelling of Llywelyn. In Welsh, the group LL has a special sound inexistant in English.

Here you can hear how it is pronounced:
