    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.

    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. 😒

    MOO, My Only One.

    It’s just because when saying it sounds like a cow mooing

    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.

    My husband is in my phone with a nickname of his old name. He took on a new name from our culture when he became a naturalized citizen, but I never changed it and he doesn’t mind.

    I was in his phone as “[my name] from café X”, until he got a new phone last year. The first thing he did was take me on a date to a new café and proudly enter my number into his new phone as “[my name] from café Y”.

    Well, I call mine by her name. But also she has two entries in my Contact list.

    One that I created when we met many years ago.

    And another one for the secondary number/phone she got secretly, before she was diagnosed with mental health issues and started taking the appropriate medications.

    I won’t give out the exact details of the alias she created for her crazy secret life… But here’s the photo I used for that Contact entry.

    This ironically became her primary Contact entry, as her other phone was older and the newer one was never actually a secret anyway, she just didn’t know I knew about it, and she didn’t need two phone’s after she got her shit sorted out.

    But I’ve left that as her contact picture to ensure I don’t ever forget who she could turn back into if she stopped taking her meds regularly.
