Why it reads this way
乐则 (Lè Zé) is an editorial Chinese given name. 乐 means happy, glad; enjoyable; music. 则 means rule, law, regulation; grades. The feel is disciplined, content, steady, 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 Zé. 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
