Character by character
Why it works
Surname Wu with 'Kin', implying kinship, unity, and broad-minded camaraderie.
Why it reads this way
吴昆 (Wú Kūn) is an editorial Chinese given name. 吴 means name of warring state; surname. 昆 means elder brother; descendants. The feel is united, broad, familial, 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 Wú Kūn. 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 吴昆. 吴 — name of warring state; surname; 昆 — elder brother; descendants.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李吴昆 (Lǐ Wú Kūn), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
