How to change your name with which the Google Assistant calls you

In this guide, we will see how to change your name with which the Google Assistant addresses you.

When you first use the Google Assistant, it asks you what your name is to talk to you in a more personal way. 

So when he provides personal information such as events and reminders, he will say your name so that you know he is talking to you.

Over time you may want the Assistant to call you by another name or is saying your name or nickname incorrectly. It is not always correct with the pronunciation of all names.

Fortunately, changing your name in Google Assistant is very simple.

The quickest and easiest way to change your name is by saying “Ok Google, my name is…” or “Ok Google, change my name“.

The Assistant will ask for confirmation and from that moment he will start calling you with the new name.

If you are not satisfied with the name you said verbally because it is pronounced incorrectly, we must go to the settings.

To do this we have to go to Explore> Profile Icon> Settings and in the personal tab click on the Name option. There you can write what the Google Assistant should call you.

After writing our name, we can reproduce the default pronunciation to find out if the Google Assistant will pronounce our name or nickname correctly. If you don’t pronounce it correctly, we need to activate the phonetic transcription option.

There we have to pronounce the sound of our name using the English alphabet to make the Assistant pronounce our name correctly.
