Why it reads this way
琼美 (Qióng Měi) is an editorial Chinese given name. 琼 means jade; rare, precious; elegant; (Cant.) to coagulate. 美 means beautiful. The feel is precious, elegant, beautiful, leaning female. 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 Qióng Měi. 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 琼美. 琼 — jade; rare, precious; elegant; (Cant.) to coagulate; 美 — beautiful.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李琼美 (Lǐ Qióng Měi), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
