Q: Siri responds she cannot find a contact that is in my contacts on my iphone.  Why?

This behavior just started recently, possibly related to the update to 7.1.1.  I will lift the handset to my ear and after the Siri tone, say, "Call [John Smith]".  "John Smith" is a fictitious name representing a contact actually in my contacts (yes, I've double-checked) and which Siri has actually dialed on numerous occasions in the past.  Siri responds, "Sorry, but I can't find [John Smith] in your contacts.  Would you like to try one of these..." and she proceeds to verbally announce several related names which are also in my contacts -- just not the one I'm actually wanting to call.

iPhone 4S, iOS 7.1.1
