Nobody is named cortana or siri or Ok Google so those work fine. Alexa is a name for people, especially when their poo poo voice recognition picks up every variant of Alex

if its just named alexa then thats stupid

if you choose the name thats stupid too, that means 1) your guests will be unable to use your handy virtual slave woman until you introduce her as such and 2) the [brokenhearted|antisocial] will name the echo after their [ex-|anime] girlfriends which will be [pathetic|disgusting] to [their friends and family|the LORD our god]

Also lol at "it doesn't listen until you say its name", of course it has to listen and interpret all the time in order to even know that you've said its name

it just beneficently chooses to disregard what you say until it decides you're addressing it
