[quote=Anonymous]My name is Alexa and I’m an “elder millenial”. Literally no other Alexas around growing up but tons of Alexandra, Alexis, Alexia. Spent my youth correcting people and spelling my name for everyone. I hated it but always was fine with my name (though I wished my parents had named me something a bit more common or that had nickname possibilities). Fast forward @32 years and all of a sudden Amazon names their virtual assistant after me. And now every time I introduce myself to someone I get either a joke or “you must really hate Amazon”. At the end of the day Amazon has made my life easier in that I don’t have to spell my name anymore but also harder because everywhere we go that has an Alexa makes it impossible for anyone to say my name. We were just in a hotel that we didn’t even realize had one and my husband kept saying my name and setting it off. We don’t have one at home for obvious reasons. [/quote]
