Why it reads this way
子当 (Zǐ Dāng) is an editorial Chinese given name. 子 means child; master. 当 means bear, accept, undertake; just. The feel is responsible, upright, calm, 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 Zǐ Dāng. 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 子当. 子 — child; master; 当 — bear, accept, undertake; just.”
