Help[Opinions] Re: Alphonsine vs Marie
in reply to a message by Fiammetta
Her mother's name was Marie. Perhaps that is why she used it.
Alphonse is slang for pimp in France and some other European countries. However I don't think it was in use with that meaning at the time she changed her name. I think the term is archaic in Fance now but it is still in use in some countries.
