Siri interrupts conversations too frequently

They really need to supply alternative names for Siri. Let them choose names that are good for speech recognition. She interrupts my conversations all the time. I’m needing to turn her off for my Apple speakers, which makes them almost useless for my purposes.

If you have your HomePod set to use just the "Siri" phrase for activation, change it to "Hey Siri". That will eliminate the similar sounding words causing activation like "Serious", "Shirley", "Cereal", etc.
