If you set up the phonetic first and last name, Siri will pick up on them the next time your data is shipped off to Apple (yes, your data exists in the cloud when using Siri), also, I have set nicknames for certain friends, and saying "Call <nickname>" works exactly as one would expect. This is a killer feature, I have nicknamed my dad, my step-mom, and various other people so that Siri knows to call my Dad when I ask it to.
I've already gotten better at asking Siri questions, yes it may seem unnatural at first, but overall the benefit I gain from using a little less natural language is enough for me.
I've had my new iPhone 4S for all of one day now, and it remains to be seen if I will continue to use Siri, but this morning when I woke up and couldn't find my glasses I was still able to find out what my boss texted me about, send him a reply and all of this using my voice. That is fantastic and I absolutely love it.
