If you tell Siri that x name is your wife, you could try saying, Siri, send a text to my wife. Then maybe her name would be spelled correctly. For example, my wife's name is Carol, she has a different last name. I told Siri that Carol "lastname" is my wife So, then when I say send an email to my wife, it uses Carol's information That's the best I can offer. I hope it helps.

Then, try telling Siri, My wife's name is spelled; and spell it out letter by letter. That is just a guess since I don't have anyone in my contacts that Siri misspells. My first choice in cases like this is always to call Apple Accessibility.
