Character by character
Why it works
细雨 (Xì Yǔ) is a classical Chinese given name. 细 means fine, tiny; slender, thin; 雨 means rain. It comes from Song Ci Sanbaishou (宋詞三百首) / Three Hundred Song Ci, where the text reads “聲聲慢·尋尋覓覓：梧桐更兼細雨” — The parasol trees, and moreover a fine rain. It is gentle and atmospheric. It is a common phrase; it may feel more like weather than a name. It is a literary name rather than a common modern choice; check the full name aloud with your surname.
Sound
The pinyin is Xì Yǔ. 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 细雨. 细 — fine, tiny; slender, thin; 雨 — rain.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李细雨 (Lǐ Xì Yǔ), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
