Siri phonetic spelling inserts @{fn#firstName} instead of my name

My name is Damion.

With phonetic turned off Siri spells it Damien.

With Siri phonetic turned on my name is @{fn#firstName}.

I simply want Siri to spell my name correctly.

Hello Damion,

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities, and it appears there's an issue with Siri inputing your name. We'll do what we can to help.

Make sure the setting for phonetic spelling is turned off then restart the iPhone: Restart your iPhone

After the iPhone has restarted, turn the setting on again to see if it still does the same thing.

Enjoy.
