If you reset a phone completely I doubt the My Info section remains, after all, if there are no contacts on the phone then there can't be anything in this. I assume that maybe SIRI associates the phone by some means, maybe it is best to turn SIRI off before signing out of iCloud and doing a reset.

I believe that is where Siri gets your name. One would have thought by deleting the content, that would be deleted. That is pure guesswork on my part.
