    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.

    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.

    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. 😒

    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”.
