Long time horn players will tell you "horn" or "horn in F". I minored in music with horn as my instrument, but when I went to work for a classical station, I always called it French Horn because that's what people understand. I got a call from a hornist who ragged me about that, thinking I was just some Joe the plumber.
From this comes three types, natural horn, horn in F, and double valve horn. I love double valves.
