Why it reads this way
涛越 (Tāo Yuè) is an editorial Chinese given name. 涛 means great waves. 越 means exceed, go beyond; the more. The feel is wave, transcendent, courageous, leaning male. 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 Tāo Yuè. 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.
