Alexa

[Snowbell99]

Would you say that Alexa is still usable? Just wondering. I have always liked it and I prefer it over Alexandra.

The Amazon Alexa thing doesn't really bother me. But I read that it bothers people on the internet and the name has fallen significantly in the statistics so I am wondering.

Alexa, usable or not?

By the way this is a family name for me but as an alternative I also like Alexia. However, this would not be a first name, just middle name.

Do you like Alexia? Is it better than Alexa?

We’re having the same problem. For years our baby girl was going to be Alexa, and now the time has come and we’re having our daughter we don’t feel we can use it. Gutted. We are also likely to use Alexia, Alexis or Lexa.

I've been using Alexa for over six months now and haven't had any critical issues with this voice assistant yet. I did have one gripe with Alexa randomly lighting up, but that was due to a reminder I've had since last week.

Oh goodness do not do this to your child

Alexia is a condition

Absolutely unuseable

I wouldn't. It's a nice name but she could be teased and it would drive me crazy having the Alexa pinging every time I said her name!

Our daughter is called Alexa (she pre dates the Amazon device). We still love the name but it’s awful what the device has done to it. When she starts secondary school her plan is to introduce herself as Alex to avoid the jokes. But it’s given her a bit of resilience around the jokes that come with it and introducing herself to new people. I tend to call her Lexa and I of course hope the Alexa thing fades and she can use her full name in the future. I have a good friend (who is Italian) called Alexia but I also love Alexis. 💐

I feel for you as it's a lovely name!
Damn Amazon! Why pick a name that was gaining popularity prior to that. Should have called it Ethel or some other name that no-one is likely to use.

Yeah sorry but I just think that the devices are too widely used, plus the fact that you have to speak to them out loud makes it unusable. At least for the foreseeable. Alexia or Alexis aren't my cup of tea but both fine

Alexia or Alexandra, not Alexa
