Elixa for a girl?

[DawnieOwl]

I'm quite a big fan of this but wanted to hear thoughts - I really like Alexa but don't want her to be getting compared to an amazon device for the rest of her life and I think this is just as nice.

It sounds like elixir

My first thought too.

Its either name of medicine or name of a stripper. Please dont.

It just sounds like an accent for Alexa or a medication or potion. If you own an Alexa it's definitely going to get confusing..
Plus I think they would be teased for the name. And it's also not really that nice...

Elixa doesn't sound good.

How about ..
Alexandra
Alessia
Alix
Sandrine

I haven’t RTFT but Elixa has the sound ‘lick’ in it and I think it sounds pornographic as a result. It would be a very unfortunate name for any age group.

As others have said, Elissa is nice!

Eliska is an actual name, of Czech origin.

Elissa? I teach one, I think it's lovely.

Yeesh. No.

What about Alessia instead?

It’s dreadful. Plus I just tried it out on my Alexa and it responded

why do people insist on using silly made up names. It has really negative connotations. People will assume you’re not very bright.

Alexa will mishear it as her name and answer to it.

Don't be so ridiculous

Elixa sounds like you're obviously trying to avoid Alexa.
And it sounds like elixir. Cue a lifetime of 'jokers' coughing when she says her name.

Not a fan, sorry. Alexa is nice.

It doesn’t sound good

It sounds like Alexa - which is not a name you can use anymore

Or it sounds like you wanted to make Eliza younique like people that spell Jackson Jaxon

Or like a wearable medical device

Use it for a pot plant instead

Sounds like Elixir
So...no, not a good name at all

Elixa? This is a joke yes?

I disagree.....clitoris, giblet and mackerel are all words that sound pretty but you wouldn't call your daughter any of them

I've just said to my Amazon smart speaker, 'Elixa, what time is it?'

She said 4.42pm

Op Just on the remote chance that you are being serious, Elissa is a perfectly good name - the alternative name that the Ancient Romans gave to conquered Queen Dido.
As a previous poster has said, it's fine. And it's over 2000 years old, if that matters to you.

No, it’s not a name and just makes me think of elixir.

If you like Alexa but don’t want the Amazon connection, what about Alessia? Alexis? Alexandra and call her Alexa as a nickname? Those are all real names.

NO. Not only does it sound like 'elixir' But also I just said 'ELIXA!' and my Alexa came on. Don't do it @DawnieOwl

Not sure if a previous poster has said this already but to me it just sounds like Alexa said in a bad imitation of a South African accent.
I'm not a fan personally sorry op

Alexa devices will still hear it as Alexa so it won't resolve that problem.
