I have a friend named “Seann”. Siri refuses to pronounce it correctly. It’s just an extra n, dude.

Aside: my son's middle name is Seamus. When he was a baby & I was opening up a savings acct for him, the guy at the bank saw it on his birth certificate & said, "Oh, my friends just named their baby Seamus". Unfortunately, they apparently pronounced it shaw-mus. 😬
