According to a number of reports, Hannah Montana was nearly named Alexis Texas. However, that name is actually the same as an adult film star, so they wanted to avoid association with that. They then went on to come up with a name with a similar rhyming effect with another US state, Montana. www.capitalfm.com/news/hannah-montana-different-name-alexis-texas/And here is Alexis Texas *MOD EDIT: thats a bit too close to the proboards t.o.s. to be posted here

Guaranteed there were some guys on that staff, who when they heard the original name, stifled their laughter and looked at each other.
I'm sure Alexis probably would have filed a lawsuit. And since there's Hoda Kotb, she could have been Hoda Minnesota. Or since Disney owns Star Wars, Yoda Minnesota. 😁

I wonder if there were any persons when Hannah Montana originally aired that said "Hey, they should probably insert an 'Inspired by Jem' in there somewhere".

Given that Hannah Montana started airing in early 2006 and Alexis began in late 2006. Am guessing this is a Tera Partrick/Jayden James/Elsa Jean situation where the name was chosen by the adult performer in order to latch onto the publicity involving their namesake.

She could have been called Alaska Nebraska.
Fun fact: Alaska Nebraska is the name that the writers of the Simpsons chose when they created a character that parodied her. The character was shown for one episode in 2009. The character while dressing like Hannah Montana was known for not being a good role model for girls.

"Um...I did a quick Google search for Alexis Texas –you know, just to make sure we weren't infringing on any copyrights– and it appears the name * *flips page* * 'Alexis Texas' is taken by a well known...um...porn actress." -"And you just found this out now?" "Yes... just now."

If they couldn’t get Miley and Billy Ray, I hear Jaden and Will Smith would have stepped in and it would have been “Lamont Vermont.”

I know Tera comes from Carmen Electra, but what about the others? I don’t get that one. Also, I don’t know the names of too many porn stars, but Alexis Texas is one that I do. I couldn’t pick her out of a line up (unless you line her up besides a bunch of twigs), but that’s a name that sticks.
