How Can I train Siri to answer to a different name on an iPhone 13 Pro with the latest iOS install installed?

I am wondering if I can make a specific name for Siri such as Orion and have it answered to that instead. Is that possible and what are the functions of serious exactly what can I do? Can it be like a person you can talk to like a counselor or a friend or what is its purpose exactly?

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 18

You currently cannot change the activation name for Siri. Siri is used on iPhone as an assistant to help you perform tasks hands-free. This can include making texts, calls, ask questions, set timers, get directions, and much more.
