Why it works

Sound

The pinyin is Hán Chū. 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 涵初. 涵 — to contain, to nourish; 初 — beginning.”

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