How to orally express how a certain character is written?

How do native speakers typically orally express how a character is written?

I want to say it in a way that is not only grammatically correct, but is also natural and passable for how a native speaker would say it. For example:

I heard somebody was asked the question “峨怎么写？”，and they responded with “山我”（instead of saying 山然后在右边加一个我，as how I would have said in the past）。

​

My own examples:

铭 = 金字旁名字的名

嵌 = 甘心的甘亏欠的欠上面加一个山

娥 = 女我

献 = 南犬

彬 = 彬彬有礼的彬

翔 = 羊羽字旁

​

I'm looking for a native speaker to correct me. Is this right?
