### Can We Change Google Assistant’s Name?

One common question among Google Assistant users is the ability to change or customize the nickname under which Google Assistant calls back to you. The good news is, not only can you choose how Google Assistant greets you, but you can also customize the way your name is pronounced. Here’s how to do it.

#### Change Your Google Assistant Nickname
For those who want to change the name or nickname that Google Assistant recognizes and responds to, you can do so through the following simple steps:

1. **On an Android device:**
– **Voice Command:** Say, “Hey Google, open Assistant settings.”
– **Manual Process:** Open the Google Assistant app, tap on your profile picture, then “Settings.” From there, choose “Basic Info” and then “Nickname.” You can either spell it out or record a new nickname.

2. **Choosing a Custom Nickname:**
– You can type in a new nickname directly.
– If you prefer, you can spell it out phonetically (e.g., “Sahndruh” for “Sandra”).
– With “Record Your Own,” you can speak out your preferred nickname, and Google Assistant will learn to call you by this new nickname.

You need to ensure that Google Assistant can understand and correctly pronounce your nickname for a seamless interaction experience.

#### Voice Settings and Customization
If the nickname customization alone isn’t enough, Google also allows for some control over the gender, accents, and languages of the Google Assistant voice — although these options vary by region and may not be available in all areas. For these changes, you’ll most likely navigate through the “More Settings,” then “Preferences,” and finally “Assistant Voice.”

#### Final Thoughts
Personalizing your Google Assistant’s nickname and pronunciation can help make your interactions with the virtual assistant more enjoyable and natural. While you can’t rename “Google Assistant” itself, personalizing these small details allows you to make Google Assistant feel more like a companion rather than just a tool.
