Is Alexa usable now?

[NameHelpNeeded123]

I just love it! I don’t know many people with Alexa devices tbh. Really like Alexis too but usually a boy’s name? Alexandra is a bit plain for me.

Also while I’m here, is Anna boring? In my head it’s cool and glam and not boring (I don’t know any under 30) but stats say it’s still pretty well used?

Alexa devices are going nowhere, I’m afraid.

I wouldn’t use Alexa

I wouldn’t use Alexa now, and I think its use for the device was very ill thought out by Amazon. It’s different to other names as products imo - e.g Flora… it’s more pervasive - something you have to say to give a command - which can make things confusing / inconvenient for families with an Alexa in the household… they should’ve made up a an AI sci-fi style name or acronym rather than a name which belongs to real world people.

@StrychnineInTheSandwiches oh don’t worry, we have a loooooong list 😄 I don’t need to keep looking, I need to narrow down haha! It’s maddening!

I agree, not a good move by Amazon! It’s such a good name. I don’t know why I can’t get on board with just Alex, although I really like Alix but what’s the point as everyone will spell it Alex anyway.

Anna is lovely.
