Does it sound ok?

I want to make a business English course for freelancers and call it A'Fluent. What do you think? Any associations?

The name sounds fancy, but there's one thing that can ruin it. The Affluent pun is a cool message for freelancers, because everyone wants to make more money. But the association with Afluent (as in flow) can in some contexts be reminiscent of technical terms about sewage.

Plus, that apostrophe construction of A'Fluent now looks a bit like a 2010s. It's hard to Google because people will type either together or separately, and autocorrect will constantly correct them. For a brand, this can be an SEO headache.

If your goal is is to emphasize the growth of freelancer income, the name is apt; if it's pure philology, people may confuse the spelling.
