Why it works

暮雨 (Mù Yǔ) is a classical Chinese given name. 暮 means evening, dusk, sunset; ending; 雨 means rain. It comes from Song Ci Sanbaishou (宋詞三百首) / Three Hundred Song Ci, where the text reads “浣溪沙·遊蘄水清泉寺:蕭蕭暮雨子規啼” — Rustling evening rain and the call of the cuckoo. It is atmospheric and gentle. It is a literary name rather than a common modern choice; check the full name aloud with your surname.

Sound

The pinyin is Mù Yǔ. 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 暮雨. 暮 — evening, dusk, sunset; ending; 雨 — rain.”

A common full-name pattern would be 李暮雨 (Lǐ Mù Yǔ), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
