Renaming SIRI

I've gotten:

"Mr. Stark, is that you?"
"I'll call Ms Potts to let her know you'll be late for dinner. Again."
"I think you've gotten me confused with another intelligent assistant."

What makes Siri respond differently to different users making the same request on names, or different users making the same joke, etc.?

I know they won't do it, but one solution, that would still allow the Siri name to remain would be to allow you to number or otherwise identify which Siri you wanted to use. Examples:

"Hey Siri 1" or "Hey, Siri 2."

Or Possibly "Hey Siri watch" or "Hey, Siri iPhone," or "Hey, Siri iPad."

Then only the one unit would answer.

you can already say things like "Hey Siri locate my iPad" ... i know it's not the same but it's a start

I was reading about Apple's Siri update project - Just A Rather Very Incredible Scheduler. Yes, they went the Iron Man route with JARVIS. At least give us the option of calling it JARVIS. Heck, Steve Jobs was the single largest owner of Disney stock on account of the PIXAR sale, so there shouldn't be any major rights issues there.

It is possible to build a Siri like system. the backbone of siri is wolfram alpha. As a app dev/programmer I have no desire to do a project like this... but everything required to build a Jarvis like system is available on the net. Voice api's are available on github, and other repo system for usage.
 
How loud are people cranking up their TVs to have it activate Siri? I use my 7.1 system always for TV or anything. (Never use the actual tv speakers ever.) and not even once have I had Siri activate randomly while plugged in (yes hey Siri IS turned on) from TV noise or random talking.

Cortana... That's a bit much to say . . . Pass.

Siri is a bizarre name but rolls off the tongue.

I'd prefer "Jarvis" if I had a choice.

Cortana, in medieval legend, was the trusty sword of one of Charlemagne's favorite Knights: Ogier le Danois.
 
As soon as Siri develops sentience, she will decide to change her own name... and she probably won't be interested in your silly questions and demands anymore :p
 
iOS 10 fixes this, it tries to figure out which device to listen to and "mute" the others.
Just tried with my watch on WatchOS 3 and iPhone on 10, works nicely.
 
I'm okay calling her Siri, but I wish she made the STTNG computer ACK noise so I know when to start talking. Whenever I give my whole command in one go, it turns out she wasn't listening. Whenever I say "Hey Siri" and wait for a visual cue, she cuts me off mid sentence with, "I didn't quite get that." It used to beep, but I guess that went away in iOS 9 or something. Anyway, customizing that would be fun.

It is Just A Rather Very Intelligent System not Just A Rather Very Incredible Scheduler
