You want to know how to change Alexa wake word? You can indeed change the wake word that the Alexa enabled speakers respond to when you say it. Current alexa wake word options are, “Alexa…,” “Amazon…,” “Computer…,” and “Echo…” The Alexa wake up word is the name you say to wake up the smart speaker and to start it listening for a follow-up command / question. It’s how you “get her attention”. This setting is not customizable beyond these four choices as of now.
You might wish to change this wake word for a particular Alexa speaker device if you have more than one in the same home. This way, they don’t all respond at once when you call her. This wake word is speaker-specific. So if you have multiple Alexa speakers near each other, you could give each one a different trigger word.
Following are instructions on how to set this watch word for one Alexa device connected to your Amazon account.

Then, this returns us to the Change Your Wake Word screen as follows. But now, the value in the Wake Word Choices pull down combo box is Computer, as shown.
Save is highlighted in the last picture.
Then, the Changing Wake Word window pops up briefly, as shown following, and then the Wake Word Changed window appears.
