Why it reads this way
玲山 (Líng Shān) is an editorial Chinese given name. 玲 means tinkling jade. 山 means mountain. The feel is elegant, calm, refined, leaning female. It's a literary two-character given name, so use it as a starting point and check the full name with a Chinese speaker.
Sound
The pinyin is Líng Shān. 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 玲山. 玲 — tinkling jade; 山 — mountain.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李玲山 (Lǐ Líng Shān), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
