Why it reads this way
思含 (Sī Hán) is an editorial Chinese given name. 思 means to think, to long for. 含 means hold in mouth; cherish; contain. The feel is introspective, gentle, deep, leaning female. It's a literary two-character given name, so use it as a starting point and check the full name with a Chinese speaker.
Sound
The pinyin is Sī Hán. 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 思含. 思 — to think, to long for; 含 — hold in mouth; cherish; contain.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李思含 (Lǐ Sī Hán), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
