Separating Siri iPad from Siri iPhone when inches apart

So I spent virtually every waking hour with both my iPad and my iPhone within inches of my face and inches of each other.

This makes it kind of a pain to use Siri seamlessly and painlessly and hands free!,

Anybody got any tricks for keeping them separated?

In this instance, you'd think that since Siri has existed for what, 15 years? that they would understand, especially with people having multiple devices, that it would be very useful to be able to rename Siri on each device. Doesn't that kind of strike you as an obvious option we should have? Or at the very least have Siri-by-device names built-in: "SiriPhone" - "SiriPad" - "SiriMac" - "SiriWatch", I know I am hardly the only person who has my devices in close proximity nearly all of the time.

The only "solution" I know of is to lock one or the other of the devices and not have Siri set to be active on the lock screen, or if you prefer your iPad to respond place your iPhone face down. I agree that it would be a nice feature to be able to have separate designations for Siri on the various devices so you can direct the command to a specific device.
