Character by character
Why it works
Evokes the grand vision of ten thousand galloping horses, full of power and momentum.
Why it reads this way
万马 (Wàn Mǎ) is an editorial Chinese given name. 万 means ten thousand; innumerable. 马 means horse; surname; Kangxi radical 187. The feel is powerful, grand, energetic, leaning male. 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 Wàn Mǎ. 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 万马. 万 — ten thousand; innumerable; 马 — horse; surname; Kangxi radical 187.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李万马 (Lǐ Wàn Mǎ), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
