This is my name that I chose myself (I'm trans, ftm) and I often get questions on why I chose such a feminine name if it's masculinity I'm trying to move towards. For one, my birthname was Iris, and I've preferred to go by Siri just because I liked the name better and it felt less effeminate to me. This was around when Siri was introduced to the iPhones. After researching the name I find it to sound more gender-neutral than anything. I like the name because it sounds perky and intelligent, and it feels like I'm not completely abandoning my old self because I have a name that goes off the old one.

I typed this in as a joke, didn't think anything would come up...nice, but I feel bad for anyone with this name who gets "Hey Siri" jokes. Not bad, if Siri hadn't ruined this name.
I cannot divorce this name from the software built into my iPhone and how horribly it routinely mishears me. I feel like a kid with this name will experience jokes routinely.
Ugh, the app. I have a play for you guys! I hope you like it! Characters: Siri, Sara, and Sebastian. Sara: "Hey Siri!" *Sara's phone lights up and Siri turns on* Sara: "Ugh, I'm so sorry Siri" *Siri replies, that's alright Sara* Siri (not the app, the person) "Um... That's alright" Sebastian: "Hey Sara, Hey Siri" *Sebastian's phone turns on and Siri says, Sebastian, what can I do now?* *Siri (not the phone)'s cheeks turn red* Sebastian: "Siri, shut up" Siri: (The phone and the person at the same time) "Hey, Sebastian, that's R.U.D.E! Sebastian: "I was talking to the phone" *Sara and Sebastian disable their phones for the rest of the day* Siri: "Let's get ICE CREAM!, After all, it's a hot summer!" The 3 friends enjoy ice cream for the rest of the day THE END!
I rate Siri 8/10.I don't care for the App as Siri is a given name way earlier than it.Actually I think that the link with that technology makes it modern and interesting.Infact Siri is actually a nickname for Sigrid. It has a nice sound in my opinion and with this 'new' namesake is more appealing.
As a person whose name is Siri, I'm not bothered with any kind of jokes about the apple Siri etc, to be honest, people never make any jokes about it. That might be because I live in the Nordic countries and yeahhh. Don't mind my trashy English please thank you :D.

Siri is a pretty cool name. But I would avoid it because of obvious reasons.
I once knew a girl called Siri - she pronounced her name like Surrey, and I though it was hideous. Now that know the real pronunciation, and I think Siri is very sweet and adorable. :)

I *really* like this as a nickname for Sigrid. I also like it as a full name. It works both ways!

I quite like the name Siri, especially since it is the name of Siri Hustvedt, who is my favourite author. Siri is to me both frail and strong.
It's a simple, nice, pretty name. Despite the similar type of syllables, the name isn't infantile at all. It rather makes me think of a pale, slender, blonde woman with an ethereal beauty to her looks.
I named my little girl Siri. I wanted a name that was Scandinavian (I'm Danish/Norwegian, and her father is English, we each got to pick a first name), one that was not too common, and one that meant something I thought suited her. I don't like Sigrid much, so Siri won, I think it's a perfect name.
I like it very much for a short name. It's cute, yet the rolled "r" gives it power. It fits a grown woman as well as a little girl, and it's fairly uncommon. Applause!
