Funnily enough, you can change the Alexa wake word (edit: on certain devices, I can change it on my Show but not my Tap). It can be “Echo”, “Amazon”, “Computer” and for some reason “Ziggy” (someone is a big fan of Bowie or Sunday morning cartoons?)
I know you can’t change Siri, I’m not sure about Google but I assume that can’t be changed either.
Google used to respond to “OK Jarvis” and maybe a couple other things back when it was new. I haven’t tried it in a long time to see if it works anymore though.

Echo is another Amazon brand word, and Amazon, of course. Computer is so common of a word that nobody would ever want to change it to that.
Also, Ziggy was the computer on Quantum Leap.
Thanks for solving the “Ziggy” one for me! And I agree I feel like “Computer” was for elderly grandmas.
“Computer” is most certainly meant for Star Trek fans. But yeah, it’s a pretty impractical choice
