There are three options for trigger words. There's Alexa, Amazon, and Echo.

We have ours set to Alexa (default) and when the neighbor girl comes over (Alexis) the Echo frequently wakes during conversations.



My sister was never great at keeping friends for long growing up, but it amuses me to no end that her two long-time friends she's had since she was very young... are named Alexa and Siri :v


Her future college roommate: Cortana?


I've been thinking of changing it to Echo -- using 'Amazon' just feels too corporatey.


A friend's Echo set to respond to "Amazon" kept getting triggered when she told her kids to get their pajamas on.


Pajamazon would be a great product name.


But that will cause issues when I play Ecco the Dolphin!


My Moto X let me set the keyword to whatever I wanted it to be: I used "OK, Computer."


I briefly had mine as "ayo computa" on my Moto X. That phone was the perfect size and shape. I miss it dearly :(
