In my extensive research on the topic which entailed talking with a London cab driver, I found that he had no idea what I meant when I said I played the "Horn," until I modified it "French Horn."

I don't know what "common english" should mean. To a speaker of british English ( or one like me who tries) or even an Australian I think, there could be not much chance of thinking Horn means Trumpet or Saxophone. Greater of the danger in England of thinking it is an E-flat tenor horn as Mr Kampen recently pointed out.
