Sound

The pinyin is Míng Sī. 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 明思. 明 — bright, clear; 思 — to think, to long for.”

A common full-name pattern would be 李明思 (Lǐ Míng Sī), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
