You can get a one word invocation name if you own the brand. From the

of trademark infringement.

One thing I have noticed with Unlimited Music and Alexa is she is picky
about naming albums. For example, if I say "Alexa, play Steve Miller
Band Greatest Hits" she cannot find it. If I say "Alexa, play Steve
