Character by character
Why it works
桂子 (Guì Zǐ) is a classical Chinese given name. 桂 means osmanthus; cassia; 子 means child; master. It comes from Song Ci Sanbaishou (宋詞三百首) / Three Hundred Song Ci, where the text reads “望海潮·東南形勝：有三秋桂子” — There is osmanthus in autumn and lotus over ten li. It is fragrant and autumnal. It is also the common word for osmanthus fruit. It is a literary name rather than a common modern choice; check the full name aloud with your surname.
Sound
The pinyin is Guì Zǐ. 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 桂子. 桂 — osmanthus; cassia; 子 — child; master.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李桂子 (Lǐ Guì Zǐ), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
