- dna_polymerase 8y agoMost likely they would rather get truckloads of horrible jokes.
- monk_e_boy 8y agoI always feel sorry for all the Alexas. And the Harry Potters who were living their lives just fine before the books. My friend is named Tressa Green. Her dad assured me he had no idea that most people pronounced Tres-sa as Tree-sa.

- stuart_marshall 8y agoIf you look at the lists of ranked baby names by year, you'll see a massive drop off of Alexas about when Amazon shipped.

I say computer and amazon too often to use those, and it baffles me that we can't just choose our own, which is something that the very first Droid phone supported.
