The word Alexa is used in many households to wake up their Amazon devices
Parents of children called Alexa say their daughters are being bullied because it is the same name that Amazon uses for its virtual assistant.
Some have even changed their child's name because they say the barrage of Alexa jokes is "relentless".
They are calling on Amazon to change the default wake word for its devices to a non-human name.
Amazon says it is "saddened" by these accounts, and that alternative wake words are available.
The word Alexa has become increasingly ubiquitous in recent years as more households use voice-activated smart speakers. Amazon's Echo and Echo Dot use Alexa as the command you say before giving it instructions or asking a question.
