Siri pronouncing first name incorrectly

long story short, before updating to ios 15 I was able to get siri as close as possible to pronouncing my name correctly.


however, since updating it is worse for some reason, and when I tried to change it I was directed to the contacts app. I figured out that you had to add a field, but neither ‘pronunciation first name’ nor ‘phonetic first name’ is working for me!


The pronunciation remains unchanged – my name is Anya, pronounced aaanya – and siri either reverts to Anya (with an ‘a’ like in ‘apple’) or Onya (with a short ‘o’). Please help! I have tried everything under phonetic and pronunciation name and I cannot for the life of me get it to work!!!

iPhone XR, iOS 15
