Custom Siri Name Feature Request to Avoid it going off all the time.

It would be really nice to be able to give Siri a custom name.


With it becoming so popular all it takes is a Movie, TV show, YouTube Video or even a conversation not directed toward any local devices to use the term(s) "Siri" or "Hey Siri" and local units activate. It also only takes something sounding somewhat like it or the apple device to think "Siri" or "Hey Siri" was said for it to also activate.


Really Annoying and is why people think their HomePods or other Siri devices are randomly going off. Example, one of our kids was watching YouTube on their tablet in the family room and that pod thought it heard "Siri" and also thought it heard some sort of play music command. So, Music started playing in that room.


Any way to build a case and submit for the developing team to look into this? Another example is just watch a YouTube video that says "Siri" 10-15 times in the same room as a HomePod and everyone will see what I mean.
