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.
When I meet someone, and get their name and number they get put in my phone that way, and I never change it. Even if we end up married years later, I'll just update the last name.
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.
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".
She's twice in my phone. First is "1[name]", second is "ICE". ICE stands for In Case of Emrgency. It's not really nescecary anymore, because android has a build-in emergency contact function now. It's a remnant of a simpler time where nokia was still a prominent phone manufacturer.
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.
Full name with maiden name and a note that it's my wife (in case I'm hit by a bus or something).
I have my parents phone number as "family". A couple of times I lost my phone and the people who found it called my family
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. 😒
Their name
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
Asexual Sex-Machine
His full name, then link his account to mine with the relationship "partner".
Domino’s Pizza
*Confused friend faces.*
Goated

Side Piece. So I know if they ever fucking go through my phone.
Her first and last name
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've got nine Sarah's in my list.
MOO, My Only One.
It’s just because when saying it sounds like a cow mooing

How often has this happened?
Technically, once. I didn't have a cell phone the first time I got married.

Name Lastname ❤️
Yeah the heart stays on in emails. I don't care. They do, too bad xD
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.
Her name but romanized (she is Korean).
Her first name. I think I'm "Firstname Lastname" in her phone but my name is more common than hers.
She's twice in my phone. First is "1[name]", second is "ICE". ICE stands for In Case of Emrgency. It's not really nescecary anymore, because android has a build-in emergency contact function now. It's a remnant of a simpler time where nokia was still a prominent phone manufacturer.
You do realize that nowadays people associate the word ICE with something completely different?
That's why I spelled it out
I put everyone with a
{{ first name }} + {{ surname }}except for my SO, which isMy {{ their nickname }}.I don't...
First name Last name but she didn't like it so now it's First name ❤️ Last name, lol.
His whole name: first, middle, middle, last. I also have him saved as my emergency contact.

Bitsy Pookums
I like Calvin & Hobbes
Their name with I.C.E. (in case of emergency) in front of it.
I don't have a significant other but my dad and my aunt each named their spouses "love of my life" in their phones
I have none but I should add estrogen as my SO
Bitch
Is her name Tammy Swanson? 😂
