It's already been pointed out, but a c followed by a consonant in the English language is pronounced hard as a "k" e.g. lucrative, clear. A c followed by a vowel is soft e.g. lucid. Luclin has a c followed by a consonant, so it's almost certainly hard.

= "Luck-lin"
Your example seems to be more of a case for "Luke-Lin".

Otherwise, why wouldn't lucrative be pronounced, "luck-rative"?
