Why it works

秋池 (Qiū Chí) is a classical Chinese given name. 秋 means autumn, fall; year; 池 means pool, pond; moat; cistern. It comes from Tangshi Sanbaishou (唐詩三百首) / Three Hundred Tang Poems, where the text reads “夜雨寄北:巴山夜雨漲秋池” — You ask when I will return; the night rain in Ba mountains swells the autumn pool. It is still and seasonal. It is a literary name rather than a common modern choice; check the full name aloud with your surname.

Sound

The pinyin is Qiū Chí. 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 秋池. 秋 — autumn, fall; year; 池 — pool, pond; moat; cistern.”

A common full-name pattern would be 李秋池 (Lǐ Qiū Chí), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
