Why it reads this way
小信 (Xiǎo Xìn) is an editorial Chinese given name. 小 means small, tiny, insignificant. 信 means trust, believe; letter. The feel is humble, reliable, subtle, leaning neutral. 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 Xiǎo Xìn. 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 小信. 小 — small, tiny, insignificant; 信 — trust, believe; letter.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李小信 (Lǐ Xiǎo Xìn), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
