How does it change in a sentence?

When referring to a person named Brent in a standard social context, the honorific suffix -san is typically added to the name, resulting in ブレントさん.

While ブレント is a phonetic transcription, some people choose a kanji version of their name based on the meanings of the characters to give their name a Japanese identity.
If ブレント were written in the script called Hiragana instead of Katakana, it would look like ぶれんと, which often makes the name look 'cute' or child-like to a native reader.
If a person named ブレント is a teacher or doctor, people will likely replace the suffix さん with 先生 to say ブレント先生. In Japanese culture, professional titles often override the standard polite suffix.
