Help[Opinions] Re: Alexa
in reply to a message by namesarecool285
I used to know someone named Alexa (work), and it’s an alright name (though I am a bit more inclined towards Alexis, if I’m being entirely honest) She was a pretty cool person, and the name is fine itself. I hate it when something popular ruins an otherwise good name, to be honest. The Amazon-Alexa connection is definitely there, but I’d say go for it. Not everyone has an Amazon-Alexa, either (I don’t even know anyone who does). The name, again, is a nice name, ignoring Amazon-Alexa. I bet there’s some people in Sweden named Siri right now, and if they can go about daily life with that name, who’s to say someone couldn’t have the name Alexa?
In my opinion, the worst names with potential brand connections are the flat-out car brand names, where someone just names their kids after car brands. I would hate to live my life as a walking advert for a car brand.
Alexa isn’t the same as a car brand name, or anything like that. It’s been a name long before Amazon, so I don’t think it should be off-limits because some company used the name. Unless someone turns Alexa into the next Adolf, I’d say if you want to use this name, do it!
…og en god dag til deg, fra niko.
