I've heard people use the pronunciation "FLOR - E - NT" (the long e sound as in w-EE-k) making the name three syllables. I'm unsure if this is correct, though the people were Spanish and Italian who said the name like this. I think it sounds like a beautiful name with either pronunciation to be honest. I'm sorry if this is not the correct way to say it and I am in no way throwing shade at Italy or Spain, this is just what I've heard from merely two people.

Florent Mothe is a French singer and actor, best known for his role as Antonio Salieri in the musical Mozart, l'opéra rock.
I think this is rather a nice French name, but unfortunately, I don't think it's really usable in English, but still nice on a French person though. :-)
