I find it very useful to have my wife's full name in my contacts.

We are involved in a lot of community organizations, and it makes it super easy to just share her contact card with people.

My friend's daughter has her as "Spawn Point"

All contacts on my phone are stored with their real full name including my wife, children and parents. Maybe it's my adhd but I would hate trying to find someone but can't remember how I saved their details.

That's a good thing. Means he never got rid of her as a contact, kept her since the first time they exchanged numbers!

I don't think I've ever updated anyone's name in my contacts lol My married friends are all still thier OG names.

Interesting, I have my wife in my phone as Jennifer Wortman also

"Wife #1"

Didn't take it well

The only correct way to list your spouse in your phone

My girlfriend saved me as "DO NOT PICK UP [my name] [my birthday] [my field of study]" The DO NOT PICK UP part is from a time when I didn't have a flatrate for calls and she had... but that was like 5 years ago.

I have two friends who have been a couple for 2 years and stiil both had each other's contacts as "name Japanese" because they met in a Japanese class.

I was looking very carefully for a subtle spelling difference or something before realising that it is "bad" to use a person's name.

Fyi, if you're bad with names, I would HIGHLY recommend adding photos to your contacts, as you add them.

It helps hugely with putting names to faces. It also helps differentiate between people. E.g. When you have 5 marks in your phone, but can't remember the surname. Lastly, it helps when you are describing someone to someone else. Being able to easily pull up a photo of them simplifies things.

Don't have a work phone?

You're in my phone as WORK XXXXX WORK

I know not to answer immediately.

Same here, never edited her contact in 15 years I think

This is crazy. What kind of barbarian doesn't properly format contacts in a standardized and civilized way?!?

If he doesn't change it to "WORTMAN, Jennifer" very soon, that's ground for divorce.

I still call my SO by his first name. We are married. Is that weird?

I have my wife's full name in too. I don't even know why, I don't have any other contacts with the same first name.

I see the humor in this, but I am also exactly the kind of nerd that has correct data fields for everybody from my wife to my grandma and nice and nephews. In a text conversation it’s usually just profile picture with first name under it.

I suspect I’m not the only one, considering the audience.

Full name is useful for searching and sorting.

But where’s the obvious joke about the triplets?

My wife is in my phone as her real name, but only because that puts her at the top of the list in my favorites (her name starts with 'A')

OPSEC. I have history disabled on my phone. If anyone were to somehow access it, they would have more difficulty figuring out who is close to me.

My SO is "Name!"

I just have her name followed by (AKA Wife) after. She saw it once years later and was like wtf is this!
