汤香 (Tāng Xiāng) is an editorial Chinese given name. 汤 means hot water; soup, gravy, broth. 香 means fragrant, sweet-smelling; incense; Kangxi radical 186. The feel is warm, comforting, aromatic, 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 Tāng Xiāng. 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.
