Apology to Alembic

I had some difficulty making out Distillate at first, but it's not the only easily-mangled Alembic name.  How 'bout:  Rogue vs Rouge?  One's a bass or a scoundrel, the other's makeup or French for red.

Merriam-Webster may be confused, but I have Mica on my side!

Since we're on the subject of spelling (and Mica knows I have decided views on it... lol):
 
Why can't anyone spell Rogue?
 
I literally could never own one, because I'd become apoplectic every time someone called my bass rouge.
 
Although blush would be a good name, even if people thought it was bluish. Maybe get it painted chromalusion, so it would be bluish blush?
