French term or phrase: Momo-Prih
Again, this name is just boggling me, this is for an egyptian themed game and I need to come up with creative english equivalents of characters, I just can't think of any for this one, thought of something to do with prices as maybe thats where the french comes from...(prih, as in prix?)

Momo-Prih

(hes supposed to be the owner of a market place, a souk)

Has to be american English, and creative but playful, its for a wide audience

neutral  cc in nyc: I believe most Americans would pronounce "mono prix" as "mono pricks" – perhaps not what you intended? // (No idea what your response to my comment means)

Wali-Mart


Explanation:
Wal-Mart might provide a good starting point for an American equivalent to Monoprix? I'm not sure how Egyptian my version comes across, but it might give you some ideas anyway!
