Theoden pronunciations

Quick question: Would someone please tell me how to pronounce the name Tolkien!

I have been told there is an American way and a British way.
American:{Tol-kin]
British:{Tol-keen}

Personally I use the "British" way because he lived in Britain so I assume that's the correct way to pronounce it.

Sorry, that wasn't very quick was it?
