Sound

The pinyin is Měi Líng. 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 美玲. 美 — beautiful; 玲 — tinkling jade.”

A common full-name pattern would be 李美玲 (Lǐ Měi Líng), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
