: Agree with both polsKArina & Mariusz: Alphonse or Alphonso are the English versions of Alfons. The name does not call up any secondary associations. I cannot think of any "name" that calls to mind a pimp. I don't think there is one.

Phonzy/Phonzie Da Pimp
Takie imię/xywka jest nieco mieliniarske, więc jeśli trzeba to połączyć, to może właśnie tak?
