Why it works

春寒 (Chūn Hán) is a classical Chinese given name. 春 means spring; wanton; 寒 means cold, wintry, chilly. It comes from Song Ci Sanbaishou (宋詞三百首) / Three Hundred Song Ci, where the text reads “踏莎行·郴州旅舍:可堪孤館閉春寒” — How can I bear the spring cold shut inside this lonely inn? It is delicate and slightly melancholy. It is a common phrase; it may feel more like weather than a name. It is a literary name rather than a common modern choice; check the full name aloud with your surname.

Sound

The pinyin is Chūn Hán. 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 春寒. 春 — spring; wanton; 寒 — cold, wintry, chilly.”

A common full-name pattern would be 李春寒 (Lǐ Chūn Hán), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
