Why it reads this way
仲书 (Zhòng Shū) is an editorial Chinese given name. 仲 means middle brother; go between, mediator; surname. 书 means book, letter, document; writings. The feel is moderate, cultured, gentle, leaning male. It's a curated combination rather than a classical citation, so use it as a starting point and check the full name with a Chinese speaker.
Sound
The pinyin is Zhòng Shū. 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 仲书. 仲 — middle brother; go between, mediator; surname; 书 — book, letter, document; writings.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李仲书 (Lǐ Zhòng Shū), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
