Can you change Amazon Alexa name? You can indeed change the name that the Amazon Alexa enabled speakers respond to when you say it. Current choices are, “Alexa…,” “Amazon…,” “Computer…,” and “Echo…” You say this name when you want the voice assistant to run a command or answer a question. It’s how you “get her attention,” so to speak.
You cannot use any name setting other than these four choices. At least, not yet.
You might wish to change this name for a particular Echo speaker device. Why? Because speakers with different names don’t all respond at once when you call with the same name. This name is speaker-specific. So if you have multiple echo speakers around the house, you could assign each one a different trigger word
Following are instructions on how to set this watch name for a specific Amazon Alexa device in your account.
