agree Mariusz Stepien: również Alphonso, skojarzeń sutenerskich nie ma :)

  -> Dziękuję
agree John Fenz: 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.
