Why it reads this way
灵瑞 (Líng Ruì) is an editorial Chinese given name. 灵 means spirit, soul; spiritual world. 瑞 means felicitous omen; auspicious. The feel is vibrant, auspicious, smart, leaning female. 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 Líng Ruì. 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 灵瑞. 灵 — spirit, soul; spiritual world; 瑞 — felicitous omen; auspicious.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李灵瑞 (Lǐ Líng Ruì), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
