Proper pronunciation?

Yes, it does matter, particularly in a formal setting.  Often people confuse lose, loose, and loss.  "A lose" doesn't make sense at all.  "Lose" is a verb - to lose, so you would never say "a lose".  The correct term is "a loss".

I would think it would be pronounced "lay".  I knew a girl whose last name was Bey, and it was pronounced "Bay".

Hey, Americans know how to speak English too.  (Well, some of us.)\n\nIt is correct to pronounce the word "the" as "thee" before a vowel.  "Thee" apple sounds better and is easier to say than "thə" apple.\n-MM

I would guess, try to pronounce each letter - so there should be a T sound before the S, the I will be as in Miss, the L will be pronounced longer than a single L, than AN as in Sand.

It could be as-e, as-eye, azee, a-zeye or possible other pronunciations.  If it's a person's name, ask the person, "I'm sorry, but how do you pronounce your name?" or simply, "How do you pronounce your name?"
