No, but most people think in words(well, in vague pictures and in words) and in your mind when you use those words you pronounce them a certain way. You know what I mean?

Don't count on it; everyone thinks differently. I usually don't think in words at all, unless I'm so bad at something that I end up having to break it down to the level of symbol manipulation (the way the Proof Explorerworks).
And isn't "Ay-sha" correct? The pronounciation page says "eye-shah" which seems to me to be the same...

Ya know, in my head I always say Wocky as wookie, even though I know it's wrong. Ah star wars geekdom.

I read in a book that most people think in a combination of words and vague, generalized pictures; I've asked people around me and found that most of them do think that way. (Personally I think entirely in words, and visualizing things is almost impossible for me.)

I say the "ay" as rhyming with "hay" (or "day", or... er... "say")
I don't pronounce them very often... but I needed to, to buy the toys from McDonald's (not that the Maccas employees knew what they were anyway - I usually had to say "the dog one", etc). I also have once of those bigger Aisha soft toys at home which I occasionally refer to by name.
