Maybe you don't like saying "Alexa" to wake your echo. Although you can't change Alexa's name to anything you want, you can easily change it in the Alexa app to "Amazon," "Echo," or "Computer." This trigger word for your Echo is known as its "wake word."

- The "Computer" wake word is a nod to the Star Trek series. If you want to use "Computer," then refer to your computer as something else (like "PC," "Mac," or "Laptop") to avoid triggering the Echo when you don't want to.
