Why it reads this way
贤红 (Xián Hóng) is an editorial Chinese given name. 贤 means virtuous, worthy, good; able. 红 means red, vermillion; blush, flush. The feel is virtuous, radiant, gracious, 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 Xián Hóng. 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 贤红. 贤 — virtuous, worthy, good; able; 红 — red, vermillion; blush, flush.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李贤红 (Lǐ Xián Hóng), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
