Why it reads this way
柔芳 (Róu Fāng) is an editorial Chinese given name. 柔 means soft; gentle, pliant. 芳 means fragrant; virtuous; beautiful. The feel is soft, sweet, kind, 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 Róu Fāng. 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 柔芳. 柔 — soft; gentle, pliant; 芳 — fragrant; virtuous; beautiful.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李柔芳 (Lǐ Róu Fāng), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
