Hi Boes,
Thanks for your clarification.
Indeed, the correct pronunciation here, is indeed 'Nanaaya'.
The character 七 (which is also the numeral seven), can be pronounced either as "shichi" or "nana", normally depending from the compound in which it is used.
You're never finished with Japanese prints or the Japanese language - just like higher mathematics... .
