How to change Amazon Echo Dot 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…” This word is the name you call out to wake up the voice assistant. The speaker then begins listening for a command. Calling Alexa’s name is how you “get her attention,” so to speak. This setting is not customizable beyond these choices; at least, not yet.
