How do I get Siri to call Amy instead of Aimee? I don't even have a phone number for Aimee.  Amy is even marked as a favorite. Whenever I say "Call Amy" then Siri says "I don't have a phone number for Aimee."

It was working with iOS 9. 

iOS 10.1.1, iPhone 5,1.
If both people are in your Contacts, you can give one, or both, a nickname.  When using Siri, you can refer to the person by nickname and Siri will know who you're talking about. 

To add a nickname to a person:


Open the Contacts app
Tap the contact you want to view, then tap Edit
Scroll down and tap add field -&gt; Nickname
Add a nickname and tap Done


To remove a nickname, just reverse the steps.  You can change the nickname at any time.
