Can we please change the name of Bixby to Sammy. Bixby is such a dumb name and does not flow from the tongue in a way that you want to say. Sammy ties to Samsung and rolls off the tongue so much better. PLEASE MAKE THE CHANGE.

Also the names are chosen because they are linguistic combinations which are not in normal speech.

The whole point of bixby being called that is that almost no one is actually named that, so the "alexa" problem where saying someone's real name triggers the device wouldn't happen as much. Naming it "sammy" would fly in the face of this as that's a fairly common name and nickname.

I think people named their dog Bixby. In the 1950s 😁

It need to be a name that people want to say. I'm sure they had a point to Bixby but it's a terrible name because nobody wants to say it. Very similar to how Bing is a problematic name. Nobody ever said Bing it.

Saying Hey Sammy is not that common. Also, Sammy is not a common nickname globally.

I actually like the name Bixby, tbh. Sounds like a helpful butler.

I'm not a Sammy fan, but I would be a fan of a User Supplied Name feature. It could possibly be done through the Voice Recognition feature. In that way UserXVZb... could have Sammy, and I could have Jude or Joe. :musical_notes:
