Siri thinks I am someone else!

When I first got my iPhone 5 and began using Siri, it called my by my nickname, which is fine. In the Contacts app, it shows my name in blue with a facebook person silhouette next to it. Fine, I thought, it recognizes who I am. Great.


Now, however, I don't know what I've done, but Siri now calls me by a different name. In the Contacts app, it shows that other person in there highlighted in blue with that silhouette; my name is no longer highlighted. Thus, Siri now thinks I'm someone else.


How do I correct this issue?

iPhone 5, Windows 7, Custom-built quad-core 2.6GHz PC

Go to Settings -> General -> Siri -> My Info. Select your contact record to restore it back to you.


Afterwards, you can tell Siri to call you by your nickname. "Siri, from now on call me .... "
