The pinyin is Pí Bō. 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 皮波. 皮 — skin, hide, fur, feather; outer; 波 — waves, breakers; undulations.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李皮波 (Lǐ Pí Bō), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
