One of my family members is named this & she says it as Haw-tins, with the t being a glottal stop. We're from the south.
When I first came across this name, I thought it was pronounced HOR-tens. Or-TAWNS is better, but still horrid.
Pronounced HOR-tens in English, which probably accounts for its unpopularity. (Surely you've heard that dreadful old joke.)
