Been having worse than normal Migraines the last few days, limiting my computer time. 
I could be wrong (language is not my strong suit, but I'm trying 
) but I think the 'I' is pronounced like the 'ea' in eat and the 'u' like the 'u' in True. That is from my limited knowledge of Norwegian.
Old Norse is a bit more like Icelandic. There the 'I' ought to be same. My Beginner's Icelandic book has 'u' listed as "like the French u as in tu". (I think that means it is more like the 'u' in hundred, but again my lang skills suck)
Personally I like the sound of Idun with I as 'ea' and the 'u' as in hundred, but then again 'u' as in true isn't bad either.
I doubt she would be offended if you use the version that sounds better to your ears.
