Sound

The pinyin is Yáng Míng. 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 阳明. 阳 — sun, bright; 明 — bright, clear.”

A common full-name pattern would be 李阳明 (Lǐ Yáng Míng), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
