Roxane Orgill: Hello, my name is Roxane Orgill. I was named after a character in Cyrano de Bergerac, a French play that was playing in New York at the time. My name is spelled differently from most Roxanes. Usually, it's two Ns, but in the play, she was R-O-X-A-N-E. She's the heroine of the play, and so I am Roxane with one N, which causes a lot of problems.
