Why it reads this way
善庆 (Shàn Qìng) is an editorial Chinese given name. 善 means good, virtuous, charitable, kind. 庆 means congratulate, celebrate. The feel is kind, auspicious, joyful, leaning neutral. 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 Shàn Qìng. 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 善庆. 善 — good, virtuous, charitable, kind; 庆 — congratulate, celebrate.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李善庆 (Lǐ Shàn Qìng), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
