Stop using the  babel  package,
or declare the font before  babel  is loaded.
This package changes the meaning (\catcode)
of the " character, to become active so as to
provide the shorthand way to get umlauts
(e.g., "o instead of \"o ).

that's probably because their names are all just
a single word, so that you didn't need quotes
to contain the space character within the name.
