How it reads

This is a transliteration: the characters were chosen because they sound like Flta. Chinese readers will hear your English name in it, which is the point — you will see this spelling in news, subtitles, and sports commentary. It is not a name a Chinese family would sit down and choose, and it does not carry a wish the way a native given name usually does.

The first character, 上, is also a Chinese surname. That is common in these spellings and usually harmless, but it means the string can also be read as a surname plus a one-character given name — say the whole thing out loud in context before you use it on a document.

Using it as your name

Written this way, 上海英语外教 works as a given name on its own, and you can add a surname in front of it. If you would rather have a name chosen for meaning — one that reads as Chinese rather than as an imported spelling — the Finder builds options from characters with documented meanings and shows you where each one comes from.
