When it comes to naming a baby, most parents spend months mulling over their options to make sure they get it right. But despite all her efforts, one mum was forced to change her daughter's name after she was harshly bullied for it at school.
She explained how she named her daughter Alexa before Amazon brought out the virtual assistant technology with the same name. Taking to Reddit, she said: "My daughter is Alexa. The bullying she got was horrific. F*** Amazon.
"She was born in 2007. Any time the class teacher called register everyone laughed and said stuff like, 'Alexa turn the lights on', 'Alexa play me a song', 'Alexa what is the weather'. That then graduated to yelling across the yard: 'Alexa! What is that smell?', and 'Alexa! What is a diet?'."
