Roxanne
Classic feminine name
Roxanne is a female given name, familiar from the ancient Persian princess who married Alexander the Great.
The name gained pop-culture currency through the Police song "Roxanne" (1978), addressed to a prostitute: You don't have to put on the red light.
The song's opening line has become a cliché reference.
