Why it reads this way
子思 (Zǐ Sī) is an editorial Chinese given name. 子 means child; master. 思 means to think, to long for. The feel is thoughtful, calm, insightful, 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 Sī. 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 子思. 子 — child; master; 思 — to think, to long for.”
A common full-name pattern would be 李子思 (Lǐ Zǐ Sī), using the surname 李. You can also use no surname at all.
