Why it works
雪柳 (Xuě Liǔ) is a classical Chinese given name. 雪 means snow; wipe away shame, avenge; 柳 means willow tree; pleasure; 24th lunar mansion, determinative star δ Hydrae. It comes from Song Ci Sanbaishou (宋詞三百首) / Three Hundred Song Ci, where the text reads “青玉案·元夕：蛾兒雪柳黃金縷” — Moth-shaped ornaments, snow willows, and golden threads. It is festive and delicate. It is a literary name rather than a common modern choice; check the full name aloud with your surname.
Sound
The pinyin is Xuě Liǔ. 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 雪柳. 雪 — snow; wipe away shame, avenge; 柳 — willow tree; pleasure; 24th lunar mansion, determinative star δ Hydrae.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李雪柳 (Lǐ Xuě Liǔ), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
