Alexa. I’m mad about the whole Amazon Alexa thing lol.I’ve never been that into Alexis, though I don’t dislike it. It gives me diva vibes.

Alexis, although I prefer it for a boy. I don’t think Alexa is usable anymore.

I prefer Alexis - the Amazon Alexa association is too prevalent.

AlexaAlexis is prissy and tacky. I like it on a boy, though.I hate both Alexis and Alexa, for the record.

Before Amazon, I preferred Alexa, now Alexis, Alexia, Alexandria

Alexia sounds pretty, but it’s also the name of a disorder characterized by an inability to read due to brain damage.

Out of those two, I prefer Alexis, regardless of the Amazon product named Alexa, just because I find it more interesting. However, maybe consider Alexandra, Alexandria, Alexandrine, or Alexandrina, because these names are very beautiful and create the opportunity for countless nicknames.

Alexa might be permanently linked to the Amazon device, but I always thought it was a nice, practical name.
I never been a fan of Alexis and I always associated it with the "mean girl" type. (Very high maintenance, lack of personality sort). I feel that it also doesn't age as well as Alexa.

Neither. Alexa is an AI and Alexis is dated and kind if masculine. I prefer the timeless, lovely Alexandra. Plus it offers a million nicknames and she can pick her own.

Well, er, Alexa because Alexis is, um, masculine?Alexa is actually a very lovely, very accessible name: all ages, all stages, everyone likes or used to like it. Its popularity surge did it no good, but I think it can bounce back.And I once taught a class which contained a male and a female Alexis. They were dating.

I would have to go with Alexis. It sounds more interesting than Alexa, which to me is incredibly dull.

Alexa.
I find Alexis too haughty. But it would bother me every time I say her name the Alexa system in my home would respond.

Alexis.Alexa is now an Amazon branded product. Every time you say Alexa you risk turning the device on! I don't own one but I know plenty of people who do.
