Why it reads this way
乐实 (Lè Shí) is an editorial Chinese given name. 乐 means happy, glad; enjoyable; music. 实 means real, true; honest, sincere. The feel is sturdy, joyful, sincere, 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 Lè Shí. 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 乐实. 乐 — happy, glad; enjoyable; music; 实 — real, true; honest, sincere.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李乐实 (Lǐ Lè Shí), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
