Cortana is in reference to the AI of popular game Halo so its less awkward to those who know the reference. Had Cortana come before Siri, saying Siri would now have sounded silly. Most uncommon names sounds silly in the beginning but it blends in as time passes.
Also from what I have read, you don't need to start a sentence with Cortana to get its attention.

- Apocryphon 13y agoCortana was a legendary sword.
- kissickas 13y agoJust read up on that... the sword was called "Curtana." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtana https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtana
- kissickas 13y agoI never realized that. Great for SEO, I would think.
