Summary:

One of my contacts' given name is 'Lonneke'. Siri, who is configured to listen and speak to Dutch, pronounces her name as 'Onneke' instead, dropping the 'L'.

Since they're set to Dutch, I can't change the pronunciation either.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Set Siri to a Dutch setting.
2. Add a contact that has 'Lonneke' as their given name with a phone number.
3. Toggle Siri.
4. Say "Call Lonneke".
5. Listen to Siri's response.

Expected Results:

* Siri responds with: "Ik bel Lonneke" ('Calling Lonneke'), clearly pronouncing the 'L'.

Actual Results:

* Siri responds with: "Ik bel Onneke" ('Calling Onneke'), dropping the 'L'.
 
Version/Build:
