I just played around with Google Translate (different combos of Greek and Latin to French and English- I'm bilingual FR-EN) for about half an hour and the only play with words that I could really find with Google Translate in Greek to English (gives different results in french) is when translating Ale and Fantis as 2 different words... translates to Fox and Knave. A fox can symbolize different things and Knave means a dishonest or unscrupulous man. Interesting :). So I don't want to discredit that al efantis is a play off of "loves infants", being francophone I know that James Alefantis is similar in some ways to "J'aimes les enfants" but I haven't been able to do the actual link from a dictionary. Would be cool if it could be proven. https://translate.google.com/?hl=fr#el/en/Fantis
