As I think I mentioned, I think poo-tin is more of recent development.

A bit like more people saying "noo" instead of "new" - as the Americans tend to.

Or Noo-castle instead of Newcastle.

Re: How Do You Pronounce The Name "Putin"?

Lena Olausson of the BBC Pronunciation Unit says:

A frequently mispronounced name, which is likely to be mentioned in the same context, is Vladimir Putin. The stress on the first name falls on the second syllable, and there is no "pew" sound in the surname: vluh-DEE-meer POO-tin."

And I bet you sat Noocassle instead of the correct way Newcastle.
