I haven't been able to find one anywhere, I need it to find out if he's changed his name (and other things).
I put his name into ancestry.com and it's not coming up with any entries in the 20th century, just people born in 1898 and before.
Has anybody else pursued this and got any results please? Would be grateful for any information. Thanks a bunch.

James Alefantis is probably a pseudonym. As most have already pinpointed and although it is very weak circumstantial evidence, his name does sound like the french rendition of the sentence "I love kids" which would read "J'aime les enfants" (I am french canadian so I got that one right). Did you know that politicians can enter politics under a pseudonym? I'm not even joking. The joke is the system...rigged in the favor of these peso lords who like to kidnap, sacrifice and then eat kids. Like in the old days you know.

I agree that it is a pseudonym. Let us not forget about the neighborhood itself, where Comet Ping Pong is located, was designed by a civil engineer by the name of Pierre Charles L'Enfant. His plan was called the L'Enfant Plan. Now, if I was particularly conspiracy minded, I would make the connection that our dear James chose his moniker based not only on the neighborhood's architect, but also how strikingly similar it is to a particular, deviant pastime he may or may not be prone to.
