I think the only way anyone can pronounce the Ll is if you're Welsh! The best way I can explain it here is to put your tongue to the roof of your mouth and make a hissing sound.
As for the rest of the name, it's pronounced uh-well-in (Literally how you pronounce those words).
So add the hissing sound to the start of the sentence Uh, well in and you've got it!
I hope that helped, haha!Blacknaiht
Living in the US I've always heard it pronounced like "Lou-ah-lin" but I'm sure it's different in Welsh. Either way I think it's a great old-timey, manly name.

Conclusion

I think the name itself is very cool, but I'm a bit confused as to how it's pronounced. I've read that the double l in Welsh can be approximated by sayinghandlat the same time, but I'm not sure how the rest is said. I like it, but I'm sure that in any place other than Wales (or with anyone who is not familiar with the Welsh language) the pronunciation would be completely butchered.
