You think Rosemary a common name? Hmm...no, I know flower names can
be tricky, but I think it quite refined. Dear Rosemary Woolf, for
example, a fine medievalist, certainly loved her fast cars and her
tipple, but that kind of zing was surely rather dashing than vulgar:
"common" would never have occurred to me in a thousand years.
