Morning. And Yuki. Tried it you will apparently fall in love with the smart toilet will find out why the U.K. Is starting to embrace the Japanese trend mornings with. She was one of last Christmas's most sought after gifts. What do you do I can play music answer questions get the news and weather create to do lists and much more yes but by contrast the name Alexa has taken a tumble down the popularity rankings so what about all those people already called Alexa who have called their children Alexa do they want their name back. Silverman is a senior writer for The Telegraph whose daughter is called Alexa good morning to Rosa good morning good morning Alexa Mason is an opera singer Good morning to you Alexa . Hi How did you both become aware because I mean this is know this digital assistant just in case anyone has kind of escaped it is no kind of part of the fabric of modern life but these things kind of. Slowly and melech So when did you 1st become aware that there was this thing that shared your name. It was relatively soon after the launch but at the time it seemed like such a novelty that I wasn't really sure that it would be a thing right OK And what about you Rose or was it before your daughter was born or after it was before I mean my daughter's any 3 years old so I was in a lot launched their product before she was born so in a way of any Got myself but it just not being a household name at the time I remember being dimly aware there was some kind of product called X. I didn't even know what it was people weren't talking about at least not people I knew back then and it was only after she was born and we've given this name to her that it really took off in a big way and became very much associated with that Amazon product is a pain in the book. It hasn't been yet it is getting the most annoying thing is when people make jokes at the moment they make them to me so that's fine I can deal with that what I'm fearing is when she gets a little bit older and people start saying stuff to her because she's 3 she doesn't know that this product exists she's she's she hasn't had to deal with that but however I did I did have a sudden e-mail from one of our readers at the Telegraph who read something I've written on the subject and said we've got a daughter called Alexa who's also 3 and it's been awful it's caused to so much stress and anxiety because everybody is just making fun of the name and every one of her nursery just knows Alexa to be something you order around which is horrible for them say I am anticipating it could get harder but that's a really difficult choice I mean I guess you could sort of introduce a nickname can you you know that's one thing we've thought about we've always said look if it becomes a real problem we can start calling her Lexi we do a bit already anyway it's a shame because I still think Alexa is a really beautiful name and that's why we chose it in the 1st place so it would be a shame but I'm also hopeful that this isn't going to be a lifelong issue for her I mean technology is moving so fast all the time that who knows in 5 years time when she's up. Primary school there's going to be something else which will have taken its place and perhaps this won't be a problem any more this is what I mean this is the high part of anyway. Though I'm done trying to think of other inanimate objects that have taken so human name to clearly clearly I don't know if that had any impact on their own people being called clear but as you say they tend to be religiously transitory and many smart smarty pants jokes are like so. I thought actually less than I thought it was going to be to be absolutely honest and a lot of the time it takes people a moment to kind of. You know realize there's a real person called Alexis in front of them so I don't get the occasional recognition of that I don't get that many people tell me when they've had a couple of drinks maybe come in and you have a stock response to that. Hand and. I think is the answer yeah I don't take very I don't take it very well when people see fit to make fun of my my daughter's name I know that most of the time they're not trying to be malicious but it does get annoying when you've already had the same joke 15 times because. They don't tend to be very original these jokes to the course the person who's you know saying at the time thinks they're the 1st person News Yeah. I mean I know it's very mild that being called K. I mean I grew up with OK Oh OK I did it so I guess I can very well said yeah it does I suppose the rules I mean you probably feel even more keenly than Alexei here because Alexa you know you're a grown woman you they are I OK take on the chin but when you feel someone's day get your child I mean Old be it you know not meaning to cause a faint then that's kind of hard to take because in that. You know it is I mean I think children have a hard enough time anyway just fitting in and other children are always looking for something about people who are different to pick on and if there's any little thing that children can use to grab hold of and make someone's life a little bit harder that is just in the nature of what children do so I just hope that when she goes to school it doesn't become something that people use to make fun of her I mean she's she's a very confident happy sociable little girl so I'm sure she'll weather the storm but I yeah I'm hoping that it's not going to make her life hard in any way. As you say it's probably going to be turnt transitory that you know somebody will come along in a minute want to and you seem relatively sanguine about a year you know well I've had to be I mean yeah I the moment it hasn't been a big issue for us but I yeah we can we always got alternatives as I say there and the nice thing perhaps the flip side is. Fewer people are calling their daughters Alexa now because of this which means that it will be a more unusual name for her generation and it's nice to have an unusual and perhaps not when your child it's not that I think when you're older it is nice maybe she'll stand out more by being one of few Alexa's in her generation but perhaps that's a soul that I don't know Yeah absolutely it will become a very special no I mean it is interesting the impact it had though because Alexa suffered the sort of largest fall in the most popular names for 2018 Georgie was the next one interestingly enough and then we had Alexey R. And Alexis both suffered fairly dramatic fall so clearly a lot of people were warned office you might well get your wish you might have a special special name for I mean Alexa have you been tempted to go for a nickname so you can produce here Alexa Oh absolutely NO I LOVE IT AND IT'S If anything it's quite nice that I don't have to spell it every time I say it. On my entire childhood having. People you know you never say like certainly do always refer to what we eat must mean Alex you must mean a lax if you must mean like me or do you know it was just on 100 dollars and suddenly I don't have to start my name every time someone on the phone at times had a positive spend I love it and do yeah do you have one of these devices I do you know because I feel it would be existential Hala and. You could read a verse of course you could rename. The Euros a point of principle you know I haven't won a point of principle I'm not having one now and also yes it would be totally impractical for us I know you are actually able to change the device so it wouldn't you know we could have one but I haven't felt the need for one in my household yet we have got some to just go into it will create insurance who says I'm listening to this show on my Alexa device and every time you say Alexa that if I stop to wait for a commercial. Transistor radio causing her to hold over the place well listen thank you very much let me just be jogging is a beautiful neighbor was definitely on my list when I was packing for. So as we say it'll be over in a minute you'll be left for that letter. To speak to and. Lovely to see is well has your name ever go into both or whether it is because it is the name of something else or for whatever reason has your name ever become a bit of a pain albeit temporarily hopefully 8 to 95 please.

Is there but I got people go in this one has been there and says For the woman who wants a tracker partner if that was a man who the feminist woman would show to bow to there's a low on coercive control and many women are holding men as near prisoners by their control and of motional violent while it was going to be steamy and there can't be many towns across Scotland that don't have an old church building or an old public building perhaps lying empty portabello in the slow then was a one of them until a group of the locals got together to stage a buyout thanks to relatively recent legislation that is no an option for Arbonne communities and to explain a little bit more we have got Markham coom from the University of Aberdeen morning welcome. Good morning and Jennifer Elliott action Corti Good morning to you Jennifer good morning good morning action Portail like the St that. Isn't there and so this was in fact there's a couple of churches in the town of believe that had fallen and. Use there where 3 Church of Scotland buildings and it was announced that they were going to consolidate on one so one was sold quickly and the other one was a little bit more ambiguous at the table but that gave us time to mobilize plan and to say that we would like to take it for community ownership Well there's a saying I mean I must be so many tones across Scotland that have got particularly a church I know this legislation doesn't refer specifically to churches but I mean it's a very kind of. Recognisable thing isn't it in our communities was it me Jews saying well we can do something about that and who was we indeed who was we 2 years ago or I was a mum in portabello who'd use the church hall. I liked the gathering space and saw when I hared in another gathering space locally that there was a meeting about what we may do with that building I went along and there were about 70 people at that time called Friends of Belfield and the action put the peace just key when we needed a company to actually build the bill to buy the building and but it was just a gathering. Mentioned on Facebook I think it was player in social media people went along and it was a really positive vibe in the room those are real energy there was a desire to do things so we took it forward from there and were you aware that there was legislation there to support you know who I was an absolutely person and and and I had mediated community rated by am vaguely interested in London form and I've seen things and the way it means done but I was not a specialist and no I didn't know that this was possible I was really quite excited when I realised there was a route that wasn't hopeless you didn't have to sit back and see the beautiful buildings and your Didio become houses for developers I'm sure they would have been beautifully designed houses that would have staff to his in need but I feel gathering spaces are more important so are necessary in a community so that was one of the joys in forces was and you're absolutely right I mean again something that many people will relate to that that building then becomes flats you know. It's almost just what happens these days so. As a group you didn't want that to happen I was particularly out of the need for gathering spaces I'd previously been involved in the local after school club had been the cheat of that I was that at the time I went to that meeting and we'd been threatened with being taken out of the school we were going to get that space and we had loot for somewhere that could take 70 kids and there was no where and so we were we went back and pleaded with the school we got to stay in the skill but I knew these gatherings bases are so so precious in any area that it was with lots of hazing being built in portabello So if you're doubling the size of the area but taking away the immunities that takes away from community life it was worth fighting for so when the 70 of you got together and you said right OK we want to do something about this and you phoned the legislation and that you were able to buy this community for this property for the community what should your pretty hands in your pocket and you club together you know does it work there was a little bit of fundraising but you're not going to raise enough to buy a building that you knew was going to be prime developer land so that's where they're not just the community right to buy but the Scottish Land fund the money that has been to essayed to support the legislation came into plea so I wasn't directly involved at that point but there were some people in the NOR who were working in the background to make sure that we took steps to follow the right to buy and that we were making the right applications for funding we got some Scottish Land fund money about 16000 pounds in the Airlie days to diffuse ability study to work was it viable if we buy this building. And we've had a grant for most of it will we be able to run it and keep it going and there was a positive business case came out of that so we did a great funder the tame Yes the community raised about 20 grand. For the main part yes it would have been possible to raise the 600000 pounds that the building was was valued at well maybe not impossible but we would have done it fast enough really to you know got the building in use it's very much in use and I think it was the SEC for the 9th of September I can't quite remember 2 years ago that we took ownership the 2017 papers were St and the Treasurer so I transferred the money over to the Church of Scotland. And we didn't open straight away we had hoped to open in the December once we got the building we got a little bit more realistic there was work had to be done but we opened in June June 23rd last year there was a lovely open the with a cabaret into the night it's a real lovely celebration and that's us just had a year of operations back in June and we're open is thriving we in enough income to cover our costs. We've just taken on a member of staff with a 12 month contract we were able to commit to that because we feel comfortable in organizing said organization so you'd rather as a business a charity nonprofit making business we are a company and registered as a charity in any of our money goes back into the business and we have to charity can't and is anyone personally liable if if it goes belly up which I'm sure it will not personally liable and so we have just the insurance we have employers insurance but yes these their arrests and. In running the organization we have to show in that we've addressed the rescue at about the risks mitigated the risks yes the risks but there's a lot of joy in a well pleasure and well goodness that comes with them well well Marcum this legislation is relatively recent yet. So with the actual original legislation no wonder some sort want 2060 obviously came in and the 1st of the Scottish Parliament was amended you know community empowerment cannot 2016 which expanded the scope of the Taylor Act which previously only applied to rural areas to know why of course urban areas and go over to Scot
