Parents in UK who named their kids Alexa want Amazon to use a different name

Amazon has got in some trouble, all because of the name it decided to give its voice assistant: Alexa. Now, parents in the UK who named their kids the same have gone after the tech giant to change the name of its AI-powered voice assistant to something that is non-human as their kids are being picked upon by bullies, as per a report by BBC.

Imagine your name being Alexa and that you are still in school. Someone calls you with your name only to issue a command like it is done to smart devices by Amazon. How would that feel? The bullies will have a field day with the Alexa jokes and may even get uncomfortably or disgustingly creative.
