How to change Amazon echo Alexa's Name to something else?

I thought of buying Amazon Echo Dot but I have one problem with that.Is there is a way to change Alexa's name to someting else.

Instead of asking,

"Alexa, what's the time now"

Is it possible to ask like

"Jhon, Whats the time now"

Thanks ,

Mohammed

This is what is provided by default :

But if you are not satisfied with it, i am not sure if its possible on the device you are using . but on my device {made using raspberryPi} it works by changing some code.

pocketsphinx:
enabled: true
voice_confirm: true

phrase: "alexa"
threshold: 1e-10

on location : /etc/opt/AlexaPi/config.yaml

As far as I know, custom wake words are only supported on the Raspberry Pi Amazon Alexa bit of kit.

Hope this will give you the clear picture what you are expecting and what exactly is there.
