Why it reads this way
志卫 (Zhì Wèi) is an editorial Chinese given name. 志 means purpose, will, determination; annals. 卫 means guard, protect, defend. The feel is Protective, Resolute, Loyal, leaning male. 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 Zhì Wèi. 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 志卫. 志 — purpose, will, determination; annals; 卫 — guard, protect, defend.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李志卫 (Lǐ Zhì Wèi), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
