Why it reads this way
波香 (Bō Xiāng) is an editorial Chinese given name. 波 means waves, breakers; undulations. 香 means fragrant, sweet-smelling; incense; Kangxi radical 186. The feel is dynamic, fresh, scenic, leaning female. It's a literary two-character given name, so use it as a starting point and check the full name with a Chinese speaker.
Sound
The pinyin is Bō Xiāng. Say it slowly, then at normal speed. If a tone feels difficult, practice the syllable alone before putting the full name together. A Chinese speaker will usually understand an imperfect tone in context, but the closer you get, the more natural the name feels.
How to introduce it
“My Chinese name is 波香. 波 — waves, breakers; undulations; 香 — fragrant, sweet-smelling; incense; Kangxi radical 186.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李波香 (Lǐ Bō Xiāng), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
