It's Cwtch, pronounced more like Cutch than Cootch
Edit. Cutch was supposed to be more of a phonetic way to pronounce it as opposed to a word with a similar sound.

Really? Intuitively it looks like it should be pronounced "Switch" to me.
Vowels in Welsh are not pronounced like they are in English.
(“Cwtch” is Welsh for “hug”. I know this because there's a good beer called Cwtch.)
One thing the Welsh language is not, is intuitive.
I don't know how either "butch" or "cutch" is pronounced. You might want to offer a common word for people who did not grow up in America...
edit: butcher?
Yes, butch is like butcher but without the "er"
This may help, although I would have thought butch was common enough. E.g. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Like "clutch" without the "L"?
Close. This is from the homepage:
How do I pronounce Cwtch? Like "kutch", to rhyme with "butch".
In common use you might say "Cwtch in" to mean "snuggle in" or "cuddle in close'
That is a really damn cute name
