It's the skill we have all been waiting for...

Currently You can get Alexa to sing happy birthday to you, but she refuses to say your name. With this powerful skill you can give Alexa the ability to use your name when she sings Happy birthday to you!!!! Now your lonely birthdays at home with Alexa will be Epic as she uses YOUR NAME to sing happy birthday while you blow out the numerous candles on your Colin the caterpillar birthday cake!

Ok so she is not the best at singing your name but that makes it a bit funny and maybe it made you smile.

To make up for Alexa not being the best singer of happy birthday, you can now ask alexa for an opera singer to sing happy birthday! If you have a reasonably common name it may even be a personalised birthday song :)

--Dogs and Cats singing Happy Birthday--
You can now ask for dogs or cats to sing you happy birthday.

-- Opera Singer will sing you happy birthday--
You can ask for an opera singer to sing you happy birthday.

--HAPPY BIRTHDAY COUNTDOWN--
"Alexa, Open happy birthday and sing happy birthday in 30 seconds."

You can choose to set a happy birthday countdown for up to 40 minutes. So you can set alexa to sing happy birthday when you expect the special person to walk into a room and get a great surprise from Alexa.

--Save names and dates--
You can now have a name and date so when you open the skill on the saved date Alexa will use the Saved name

Example:

"Alexa, ask open happy birthday" Then ignore what she says and say, "Alexa, Save January the 1st as Hugo Birthday."

Perfect if you want to set up the skill as a routine and surprise someone.
