Alexa sometimes not understanding city name

Question

In my app, user has to tell the current city. My intent request is

{
  "slots": [
    {
      "name": "cityName",
      "type": "AMAZON.US_CITY"
    }
  ],
  "intent": "cityIntent"
}

And my utterances are

cityIntent my city is {cityName} 
cityIntent my favorite city is {cityName} 
cityIntent {cityName} 
cityIntent change city to {cityName}

now when I am saying Alexa change city to Mumbai or My city is Miami, it is working fine but when alexa ask for the city name and I am replying with only city name like Mumbai Or Miami, it won't work. It calls for stopIntent

Referring `but when alexa ask for the city name` Is this is a dialog kind of interaction ? — Amit, Feb 06 '18 at 21:58
Do you see your cityIntent being called when alexa asks "ok tell me your city?" . You could try to print out the request json in the log. — Amit, Feb 13 '18 at 15:42

Amazon recently created a new slot type AMAZON.SearchQuery which would perfectly suit your problem.
