Character by character
Why it works
青天 (Qīng Tiān) is a classical Chinese given name. 青 means green, youth; 天 means sky, heaven. It comes from Tangshi Sanbaishou (唐詩三百首) / Three Hundred Tang Poems, where the text reads “行路難·其二：大道如青天，我獨不得出” — The great road is like the blue sky, yet I alone cannot go out. It is open and ambitious. It is a common phrase; it can sound like a motto. It is a literary name rather than a common modern choice; check the full name aloud with your surname.
Sound
The pinyin is Qīng Tiān. 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 青天. 青 — green, youth; 天 — sky, heaven.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李青天 (Lǐ Qīng Tiān), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
