I can't help you on the names thing....I have a strict rule in my household that all naming of fish is banned. Why? Because my kids name them, become attached, and they are the first to die. So, I have assigned them all 22 digit serial numbers for those times when I need to refer to them.
However, if you insist on naming them, I find Tommy Gun to be a very distinguished name; although I am not a convict, or ex-convict either.
I can also ensure you that as soon as you bring your new fish home, taking a picture and sharing it will all of us will dramatically increase your odds of success
(kinda, sorta, maybe...it would be nice in any case) 
As far as the information on what type of water chemistry and environment your convicts, I am sure someone here has all of those answers for you. In the mean time, you might want to check out some of the online LFS websites like
Drs. Foster and Smiths (<--click on it to see 'pink/white convict' info) to at least get some numbers.
Although, my advice to you, or anyone really, would be to stick to the water chemistry which does not require you to dose a whole bunch of chemicals or products (other than the absolute needed items, i.e. dechlor conditioner). For the most part, freshwater fish have the ability to acclimate and live comfortably within a wide range of parameters; including pH, Kh, Gh, etc... In fact, I recently read that convicts are one cichlid which will also breed well in water chemistry which does not match their 'natural' habitat in the wild...not to mention the info on pink/white cichlids on that link above says the can live in a pH level of 6.5 - 8.0...which is a pretty large 'target' for most anyone's standards, or so I would assume.
That said, the trick to that would be to acclimate your new fish properly and thoroughly. While I realize a lot of people 'get away' with acclimating his or her fish by floating the bag til temperatures match and then release them, I can all but guarantee you that can reduce the risks associated with taking one fish from one water source and placing them in another by using the techniques/methods that are outlined in this article
HERE.
Otherwise, if you do want to recreate your convicts 'natural' water chemistry, you can do yourself a favor by finding methods of doing so which are more permanant and reliable than chemicals such as certain substrates and things along those lines.
Congrats on your new fish though! It is almost as if I can 'read' your excitment about them!
-they're realtors-I can't help it, my wheels are always turning! Also, look at cichlids.com-I don't know how great the info is on the site but its worth a look.
