siri thinks i am my son. how do i change this?

siri calls me by my son's name. He was added to family sharing now I get his contacts, his bookmarks and when I ask siri to call me by my name she changes only the nick name and then his emails come in with my name. It gets confusing. Can I remove him or change the main name back to me?

iPhone 8, iOS 13

Hello micahneedshelpnow,


 Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand the Siri is calling you by your son's name, and you get his contacts, and bookmarks. Let's take a look into this together.


When you go to Settings > General > About> Name. Do you see your name or his?


Here's how to change the name on your device:

Change the name of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod using your computer


Also, what do you see when you navigate to Settings, do you see your name on the first line on this screen? If you see his name, it means you're signed into iCloud on your device using his Apple ID email address. In this case, you'll need to sign out, then sign back in with your Apple ID, and password.
