At a minimum, it should be possible to have it answer to Echo.
And the intercom would be a natural feature for multi Echo devices where you could say "Call Echo" or "call Alexa".
If Amazon doesn't do it, some third party will.
It will be necessary once it expands into full-blown home automation applications.

And I'd REALLY like to be able to chose a different "wake" word. Susie was whining to me yesterday that the name "Alexa" has negative connotations for her, and "Amazon" is just ridicules. I'd still like "Sarah" but that's just me.
