Parentheses around names when dictating/voice to texting

So this question was asked several times, and I never found the answer but I figured it out:

Whenever I said my son's name, dictation would put parentheses around it, no matter what - example: (Sam). I saw (Sam) playing outside. (Sam) is with grandma. Etc.

I realized that I had one of his teachers as a contact and I had his name in parentheses as part of the contact. For whatever reason, dictation took the spelling from the contact (even though I had his name in the "company" line and his name was not even the actual contact). Mystery solved. I took off the parentheses and now I can just say his name and it does not have the parentheses.
