AIBU?

To think there is nothing wrong with the names I have chosen?

I have boy girl twins that are three months old now. Their names are Fox and Dana. I think they're fine names and suit them well but almost everyone smirks or out right laughs when they find out their names.

Um, why? Am I missing something?

No idea. Why don't you ask around? I'm sure the truth is out there.

All names ok when you get used to them. Some names take longer than others to warm to.

If I heard Fox I'd think it was a cute nickname you gave your child. Are you serious?

I guess you're all right, there is truth somewhere. I think I might just ask next time someone smirks or laughs and be upfront about it.

"what the fuck is so funny?"...that kind of thing.
