est mihi nomen Florianus/est mihi nomen Floriano
This is the usual way of expressing it in classical Latin. In the first, 'Florianus' is in apposition with 'nomen'; in the second it is in apposition with 'mihi' (possessive dative).
The poets sometimes use 'clueo' ('I am called, I am named') + the nominative of a name, e.g., 'clueo Florianus'. 'Appellor' may be used in the same way in prose.

Rowan Morrell
: "Nomen" is a neuter noun, not masculine, so it should be "nomen meum".

Nomen meum Florianus est.
I think that's it. Nomen is a neuter noun, so the possessive adjective would be "meum" (as opposed to "meus" or "mea") to agree with it.

p.s.: I\'d go for \"mihi nomen est\", an idiom in the classical Latin
and, sometimes, you can have the dative also for your name, i.e.
mihi nomen est Floriano
vale
