Tap the contact whose pronunciation you want to correct. This can be anyone in your contacts, including you.

Click the "Edit" button. This allows you to change the contact's details.

Scroll down and tap "add field". This allows you to select a new field for the contact.

Select "Phonetic First Name" to change the pronunciation of the contact's name. You can also select "Phonetic Middle Name" or "Phonetic Last Name" if you want to change the pronunciation of these elements.

Enter pronunciation spelling for the name. Entering the name this way will help Siri pronounce it correctly. For example, you can spell "Margot" as "Margoh."
