    I just put people’s names in my phone as their actual first and last name; if I call them something else I put that name in the nickname field.

    Super basic “skill” to do this. 😒

    Everyone has their contact card as best I’m able to do it.

    We only use last names at work, so I’ve gone into the “Nickname” field (iOS) and just put their last name in there. So when they text me, I get their last name and not their first since almost none of us use first names (it’s considered trivial knowledge). A couple guys who have earned nicknames, have those instead.

    My wife, my brothers, my sisters, my cousins, my nieces, my nephews, everyone’s just firstname lastname and it’s sorted by last name. Even my mother and stepmother have firstname lastname.

    I could make use of the nickname field a lot more, but I don’t.

    Name+Surname.

    I’ve got a policy of always having that pattern since I had 5 Michaels, 3 Daniels and 4 Davids with no way of telling them apart.

    Her name ends with an A and during our earlier years together we were around a bunch of goats. So I kept calling her (name)-uhuhuh.

    Her name in my phone is now that with a goat emoji because it’s both hilarious and she’s goated.

    When we were not-quite engaged and doing long-distance, my wife ganked my dumbphone and quickly edited my contact from {her name} to {her name}-mywife, no spaces, no capital letters. So now, twenty+ years later, that’s what it still says, and that’s how I address greeting card envelopes to her.

    First and last name with additional names of wife and momma (because of young kids)

    Ive also had to change my mothers name in my phone from mom to her first and last names so I don’t accidentally fuck up a voice assistant text
