Why it reads this way
启辰 (Qǐ Chén) is an editorial Chinese given name. 启 means open; begin, commence; explain. 辰 means celestial body; time. The feel is hopeful, new, bright, leaning male. It's a curated combination rather than a classical citation, so use it as a starting point and check the full name with a Chinese speaker.
Sound
The pinyin is Qǐ Chén. 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 启辰. 启 — open; begin, commence; explain; 辰 — celestial body; time.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李启辰 (Lǐ Qǐ Chén), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
