This incredibly infuriating issue is easy to fix! Go to "Settings -> General -> About -> Name" and simply rename your phone. So strange that this has been going on for years, Apple has never done anything about it, and the fix is completely bizarre. I hope people come across this fix and save themselves hours of headaches!
