Why won't Siri say my name correctly?

I've tried it all, yet Siri WON'T say my name right! My last name is "Eliasen," pronounced Eh-LEE-uh-sen. She keeps saying, "Eh-LIE-uh-sen." Why can't she figure out this simple phonetic spelling??? I've even tried putting the phonetic spelling "Elíasen," which would also work.


She DID, however, take the correct phonetic spelling for my first name. It's Jalyssa, pronounced "Juh-Lisa." Yet when I tell her, "I want to go home," and she replies, "here are directions to Jalyssa Eliasen home address," she says my first name incorrectly again. What the heck?


Anyone got magic answers?
