Basically have come on here to ask for some suggestions if we like the name Alexa but are not to keen on using it (party due to Amazon but also just looking for alternatives). Any similar sounding names you can suggest? Thank you!!!!!

We have 2 echo dots in this house, so are shouting 'Alexa' al day... I think as they become more popular you may regret he name. Which is a shame because it's a lovely name Smile

Yeah sorry but people can't name kids Alexa thanks to amazon.

When she went to friends houses there would be all sorts of shit going down.

"Alexa" come to dinner

"Alexa" wash your hands

"Alexa" turn the TV down

"Alexa" flush the loo

Oh and to actually answer your Op I love Alexandra

SueGeneris · 16/06/2017 23:03

I know an Alexia which I think is nice.

helpmeee · 16/06/2017 23:36

So angry at Amazon! Alexis is quite nice though

Alexia

I think Alexa is lovely. I'd still use it, it's not like your calling her Siri Grin Statistically most people probably won't have the Amazon device, so unlikely to come across one that often. Further technology doesn't last forever and it'll soon be outdated and replaced by something else.

LorLorr2 · 17/06/2017 17:55

People would just accept it as her name honestly, maybe for a second they'd think of the Amazon thingy but then it would just be 'her'. :) It's a great name too.

picklemepopcorn · 17/06/2017 18:07

Lexie.
Alena

Electra

Alexia and Alexandra are nice alternatives. NN for both could be Alex, Lexi or Ally.

One of my best friends is Alexandra nn Alex (much much nicer than Alix!).

BendydickCuminsnatch · 17/06/2017 18:32

Looooove Alexis, considered it for this abby if he was a girl (yes, I know it's originally a boys name...)

You can change the name on Alexa so that when you say the kid's name, the device it won't respond.

Alexa is gorge. Also really like just Alix.
