HomeKit facial recognition notification say 'someone who may be' instead of the person's name

I am using Apple HomeKit with a Aqara G410 doorbell. In HomeKit in the doorbell settings I have facial recognition enabled. However, when I arrive at the door, I get a notification saying "The ''Front Door Camera" has detected someone who may be "my name". If it is me and I am in the People gallery and named, shouldn't it just say, "The Front Door Camera has detected "my name"?


The video timeline for the camera in Applehome shows my name in full so why does the notification say "someone who may be?" is this normal?

Original Title: HomeKit facial recognition
