Change the way Siri pronounces a name

How can I make Siri change the way they pronounce a name? It used to be so easy to just tell Siri, but now there are these confusing phonetic and pronunciation fields that don’t even seem to work.

Hello,

As you mentioned, the only way to change how Siri pronounces a name (which isn't yours) is by adding a phonetic pronunciation to the contact of the person you want to change the name of. You can look up, then copy and paste the pronunciation into the Contacts app. If you need more info on how to do this, feel free to ask. Thanks for reaching out! -Drake
