Amazon's Intelligent Personal Assistant's name is, by default, Alexa. The name is also your connected device's wake word. If you want to wake up your device, you simply say "Alexa". But what if somebody in your family is named Alexa too? You'd probably want to change the wake word in order to stop unwanted activations.
This guide will explain how to change Alexa's name.
Be aware, as the warning above the selection menu indicates, that it will take a few minutes for your changes to take effect and that during this time you will be unable to use your device.
