Why it reads this way
阔然 (Kuò Rán) is an editorial Chinese given name. 阔 means broad, ample, wide; be apart. 然 means so, correct. The feel is Dignified, Calm, Spacious, leaning neutral. It's a curated combination rather than a classical citation, so use it as a starting point and check the full name with a Chinese speaker.
Sound
The pinyin is Kuò Rán. 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 阔然. 阔 — broad, ample, wide; be apart; 然 — so, correct.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李阔然 (Lǐ Kuò Rán), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
