I don't always bother wondering how it sounds out loud, though sometimes I do. I think it varies, not sure why though! If I hear that I'm pronouncing it wrong, then I will usually try to remember the correct pronounciation, but can't always guarantee to do so! Though occasionally I'll stick to my way - again, it varies. And in the case of a name like Cuthbert, I'm sticking to the British way (unless it's a real person, then I do try to remember how they pronounce it out of politeness).
But hey, you should try pronouncing some of the names in the Bible!! And then, after hearing British speakers for all your life, listen to a Texan preacher. It took me a while to figure out which book of the Bible he was reading from, due to the difference in pronounciation!! :) :)
