= LYEW [rhymes with "blew"]-keh, not "LOO-kah" = "luck" in Norwegian. Go to this page to hear the pronunciation for yourself:

Kate is right. The Y is pronounced like the French U (like the ue in rue) and the German Ü. The E is pronounced like the E in Eric.
Charlie Blue has posted a link to a sound file where she says Lykke in Danish in a previous reply to a question about Lykke.http://www.behindthename.com/bb/arcview.php?id=3245667&board=gen

I'm not Danish, but I assume Lykke would be pronounced LUY-kə. (I believe the y is pronounced like French ue or German ü.)
