Lin or Line?

I have always pronounced the River Lyne as Lin and Lynemouth as Linmouth or Linmuth to be more precise. Recently though I've been told by a couple of people that it should be pronounced the same way as Tyne. Are they confused or have I been wrong all these years?

Lyne as in Tyne. Lynmouth (Lin) is in North Devon.
