Shaun is an Anglicized spelling of the Irish name Seán. Alternative spellings include Shawn, Sean, and Shawne.
- Add Phonetic Name: Edit your husband Shaun's contact and add his name phonetically in a separate field. For example, type "Shawn" (or whichever pronunciation you use) in the nickname field. This might help Siri recognize your intended contact.
- You can try re-training Siri by deleting both Shaun contacts and then adding them back again. This might help Siri recognize your intended Shaun more accurately.
- You can also assign relationships to your contacts in your iPhone's settings. For example, you can specify that one Shaun is your husband. You can do this by going to Contacts, selecting the Shaun you want to assign a relationship to, tapping Edit, then tapping add related name. This can help Siri prioritize the correct contact when you use terms like "my husband."
- See if you have a nickname set for your husband Shaun's contact. Siri might be prioritizing the nickname over the full name.
Change iPhone Language (Optional): If none of the above work and you primarily use the phonetic spelling (Sean), you can consider changing your iPhone language to match. This might be a big change though, so only consider it if the other solutions don't work for you. Go to Settings > General > Language & Region and choose the language that best reflects how you pronounce Shaun's name.
