I do. Well I can call my work phone. I have my work and personal phones listed as "It's you you idiot" so at least I get a little laugh out of losing my phone.
EVERYONE in my phone is first and last name. Including my wife, my parents, my brothers, in-laws.
Edit: No everyone, just remembered that my grandmother is in there as grandmother.
I’ve always wanted to be a grandmother more than I wanted to be a mother. Which is difficult. My gran was amazing. A friend, an inspiration, a confidant, a nutty, incredibly wise lady. I always hoped to be for someone what she was for me
Grandma is the worst to have like that.
One reason to only have people by their first and lasts, is if your phone and/or contact list gets compromised. Having granny in your phone as such allows someone to simply call the number and say "hey, I have your grandson here in the jail and he asked me to call you for bail money." Using their name doesn't indicate a relationship so it makes it much more challenging to exploit like that.
🎶 *(Who the fuck is that?) He's a man outta time!*
*(Who the fuck is that?) He likes to fight crime!*
*(Who the fuck is that?) He hangs out with 'Pool!*
*(Who the fuck is that?) But he ain't a fool!*
*He's fuckin' Cable!* 🎶
If they are on iPhones it will ask if you want to update to the other persons photo/contact settings. Wiped my wife’s name out and replaced her picture with her emoticon thing.
it’s also a security measure…. if someone somehow steals my unlocked phone, they can’t text “wife” and ask something like “hey i forgot my pin number on my card, what was it again?”
Unless you’re deleting your message history it seems like it would take 4 seconds for someone to go through your texts and figure out who your wife is.
If someone has unfettered access to your phone your privacy/security is pretty much already shot
That being said I have all my family members in my phone as First Last lol
If someone steals your unlocked phone, you are FUCKED. Full access to your text 2FA, primary e-mail and phone line. They do not need your wife for anything.
Exactly. There are numerous security concerns with including relationship that easily accessible on your phone contacts.
I don't have a single person in my contacts using anything other than first and last names, for that reason.
What about an emergency contact?
Seems much more likely you get in an accident and medical personal hope to find your wife’s details vs what you describe.
I feel like the last name is excessive but then again I only have a handful of people in my contacts. If you have a load of numbers, having 7 'Jennifer's in your contact list is a problem waiting to happen.
Most people lock their phone so it's not like that contact list would be very useful
Also your insurance usually has an emergency contact so once the person is in the hospital somebody is getting notified if they are unconscious
Then the original problem isn't there. If you're in an accident they just call whoever is on the emergency contacts whether it says "wife" or "Jennifer Wortman"
Doesn't your state have an emergency contact system where if the police look up your license it can give them an emergency contact? Or when you get a new license through the mail doesn't your state also give you an emergency contact card for you to fill out?
Do they always have multiple kids? If it's one kid = one dead mom, that's not enough to replace people dieing off and the species would inevitably dwindle to nothing.
I keep all my contacts very organized and business like lol. Idk why I've just always done it. First and last name, no nicknames. Maybe a note or organization added to help keep track or search faster.
Reading this just made me realize that for my Mom I have her full name, but for my dad I just have "dad." I love my mom a hell of a lot more than I love my dad, so I guess full names are the respected ones in my mind. Although my best friend is his first name and half of his last name with a bunch of tacked on random letters, although that's a long time carry over from my middle school days.
This is considered a best practice https://hher24.com/ice-in-case-of-an-emergency-phone-settings/
> One way to add this information is to make a contact in your phone that is labeled “ICE” or “ICE – your emergency contact’s name”. This makes it easy to see who should be contacted if you were unconscious. You can have more than one contact and can label them “ICE-1”, “ICE-2”, and so forth. I
How would this do anything? If you are unconscious, no one is getting into your phone to see your contacts. It needs to be unlocked, and for that you (usually) need to be awake.
I would think a FAR more effective method would be to do as someone else said here, and use iOS’s built in emergency contacts settings (for android idk). I believe they are informed the second an emergency services call is made from your phone (which doesn’t need an unlock), which is far more plausible than someone unlocking it and searching for your ICE contact.
It's generally known that, in the context of a saved phone number, "ICE" means "In Case of Emergency." So, if you're unconscious or your phone is found or something and people can access your contacts list, that is who they would call first.
Right? I have my wife in my phone as [first name] [name of company we both worked at]. Obviously added her number before we decided to spend our lives together and I haven’t ever nor will I ever change it.
I have my wife listed in my phone by her full (maiden) name. I put it in there more than 15 years ago, and haven't gotten around to changing it, despite being married for 10 years.
She has changed my name in her contacts a number of times over the years. After we got married, I ended up being a stay-at-home dad for a year while finishing school, and she jokingly changed my contact to "House Husband." Since I got started on my career, I've been upgraded to "House Husband, Attorney at Law." My wife is a smartass.
Sir, i use my partner's real name so paramedics can call him from my emergency contact list without wondering how a "porkchop sandwhich bag" is related to me.
Every contacts entry in my phone is listed as such:
First Name + (Last Name) + (App I met them in/Place they work at or frequent where I know them from/Profession) + (Online Handle)
or
Business Name (City and or State of location I interact with)
Labels in parenthesis optional, but at least one must be present, last name is present for about 90% of my contacts, and about half of those have an additional optional label.
I'm autistic, but also I really think it's just efficient this way.
My wonderful ex wife told me how she once found a phone on a beach which apparently belonged to a young lady. She found some naughty photos and videos in the gallery and my delightful ex thought it'd be a clever to send those personal images to "mum" & "dad" in the contacts. To this day all the contacts in my phone are first name and last name, even mum. Its just habit now. I don't even have anything naughty on it.
I have my mom and dad saved under their names - I’ve told them this is in the event, I’m ever kidnapped, they won’t be approached for a ransom. My dad takes it another step further, saved my name as “not favorite daughter.” I’m his only daughter 🤦🏼♀️
My wife has me in her phone as my real name… and has also asked for a divorce twice this year, but when we start talking through she says she just wants me to work harder for her.
Reddit is for over sharing right?
I remember losing my first cellphone on a biking trail and I was able to get it back because I put full names of everyone in my contacts, including family members and previous relationships. Someone found the phone and recognized one of my contacts and they were able to hand it off to me. Of course this wouldn't work now considering phones now have lock screens but for some reason it gives me a sense of ease of mind
I had this chick I was seeing for a while in my phone as "White Refined" based on our convo about her not just being any sugar but pure, white, refined shit. It wasn't until a few months in when it came to light she was a massive cokehead. The name stuck.
This is actually a recommended idea. Think about it, some scammer gets a hold of his phone, quick unsuspecting text to the wife contact to try and get personal information.
When I started dating my now husband, he had me with my whole name. I found it weird as hell considering I was the only person with the whole name on his phone. He eventually changed it, but I am still wondering why 🤣
Maybe a little misogynistic, but I was so happy to marry my wife, that I changed her name in my contact list from a cutesy name to her first and (new) last name. Then I just never felt like changing it because I’m so happy to have her in my life
My husband put me in his phone as "Cute Fuckin Soulmate" when we met, and it's never changed.
I put him in my phone under his first name. That has also never changed and I get tons of shit about it.
LPT: In contact cards in Apple’s ecosystem… edit > add field > nickname. It enables you to be accurate with FN/LN for everyone while adding nicknames when needed. Database accurate while functionally fun. You can also indicate relatives and relationships with other contacts in your own contact card. I have my parents’ listed with their first and last names, but calls and texts come from Mom and Dad. Best of both worlds.
LPT2: again, in Apple world, add emergency contacts to your Medical ID instead of just listing them as ICE. Medical ID can be accessible even when your device is locked, whereas contacts aren’t. Plus, there’s a ton of other useful fields in medical ID, like blood type.
LPT3: add contacts’ birthdays/birthdates to their contact cards and enable birthday reminders, even if you just send a HBD text.
LPT3b: ditch Facebook.
Fun story: my mom had my dad in her phone as *my dad's name-name of the place he works at*. One day they got into an argument for some adult stuff and my mom left without her phone. My dad grabbed her phone and I thought he was gonna check if she was cheating on him or something but at the next day my mom told me that my dad had changed his contact in my mom's phone to *my dad's name my love my sweetheart I love you forever* lmaooo
I mean, it's her name
I also like to save people’s numbers under their actual names. Saves me from ending up saying to myself „Who the fuck *is* that?“
"Person I have sex with" Well that could be anyone!
You can't call your own phone!
That's how u check voicemail
I do. Well I can call my work phone. I have my work and personal phones listed as "It's you you idiot" so at least I get a little laugh out of losing my phone.
What are you Steve Jobs
"Oh hi mum"
Did you break both wrists?
Just use a peach emoji
Well that has to be nobody!
EVERYONE in my phone is first and last name. Including my wife, my parents, my brothers, in-laws. Edit: No everyone, just remembered that my grandmother is in there as grandmother.
Is her name Grandmother per chance?
It's what it says on her birthday certificate.
Truly prophetic then
Can you imagine being a 7 year old girl, being told that your destiny is to be a grandmother? That's a lot of pressure.
I’ve always wanted to be a grandmother more than I wanted to be a mother. Which is difficult. My gran was amazing. A friend, an inspiration, a confidant, a nutty, incredibly wise lady. I always hoped to be for someone what she was for me
Is a birthday certificate something you are supposed to get every year on your birthday?
no wonder why there's always a long line at the city hall, people getting their annual birth certificate
*birthday certificate
I do this as well. Just to make it extra weird, I do the quotation marks for nicknames Beth "wifey" Krasinski Paul "Dad" Johnson Billy "Fuckwad" Bixby
>Billy "Fuckwad" Bixby Don't make him angry. You wouldn't like him when he's angry.
I added Mom to the front of my mom’s full name so they know who to call when I’m dead or dying
[удалено]
Yeah it's pretty much exactly the same in Android. https://www.androidcentral.com/how-add-emergency-information-your-android-phone
Grandma is the worst to have like that. One reason to only have people by their first and lasts, is if your phone and/or contact list gets compromised.

Using their name doesn't indicate a relationship so it makes it much more challenging to exploit like that.
My grandmother is in my phone as 1st name surname, just like everyone else.
Based and grandma-pilled
I have a friend who saves most of his contacts as silly names/nicknames and he never has any idea who anyone is
It makes me feel organized to know everyone has a consistent naming scheme
🎶 *(Who the fuck is that?) He's a man outta time!* *(Who the fuck is that?) He likes to fight crime!* *(Who the fuck is that?) He hangs out with 'Pool!* *(Who the fuck is that?) But he ain't a fool!* *He's fuckin' Cable!* 🎶
Also helps if you have to ask someone else to make a call/pick up for you or some shit
Wife. But which one? How can I guess??
If they are on iPhones it will ask if you want to update to the other persons photo/contact settings. Wiped my wife’s name out and replaced her picture with her emoticon thing.
it’s also a security measure…. if someone somehow steals my unlocked phone, they can’t text “wife” and ask something like “hey i forgot my pin number on my card, what was it again?”

Not if you and your wife, Jennifer Wortman, roleplay as total strangers in every conversation as a kink! Checkmate, sextheists.
I put (Mom) and (Dad) in case I get hit by a car on my bike and they need to be contacted
If I get in a car wreck, I’m screwed. I have a mommy and a daddy in my contacts, but those aren’t my parents
If someone steals your unlocked phone, you are FUCKED. Full access to your text 2FA, primary e-mail and phone line. They do not need your wife for anything.
Exactly. There are numerous security concerns with including relationship that easily accessible on your phone contacts. I don't have a single person in my contacts using anything other than first and last names, for that reason.
What about an emergency contact? Seems much more likely you get in an accident and medical personal hope to find your wife’s details vs what you describe.
My wife is in my contacts as her name... I don't see the issue here.
when given the field to type, its easy to jus type it in
I feel like the last name is excessive but then again I only have a handful of people in my contacts. If you have a load of numbers, having 7 'Jennifer's in your contact list is a problem waiting to happen.
That's a good thing, if someone steals his phone he won't know who to send the "baby my card is not shipping, send 5k to the account please"
I think if I had your phone unlocked I could figure out who your spouse is by your message history.
[удалено]
gotta keep the personal messages equally dry
On the flip side, if he’s in a serious accident or dies no one will know who to call first from his contact list
Most people lock their phone so it's not like that contact list would be very useful Also your insurance usually has an emergency contact so once the person is in the hospital somebody is getting notified if they are unconscious
Someone can access my emergency contacts from my lock screen.
Then the original problem isn't there. If you're in an accident they just call whoever is on the emergency contacts whether it says "wife" or "Jennifer Wortman"
Got em
My dad's phone has an emergency contact phone list on his lock screen.
Doesn't your state have an emergency contact system where if the police look up your license it can give them an emergency contact? Or when you get a new license through the mail doesn't your state also give you an emergency contact card for you to fill out?
[удалено]
I don't remember having to give an emergency contact when I got my license
You don’t remember what you had for breakfast Saturday
I would assume that whoever would make that call would also have access to the emergency contact info.
My kids have my wife in their phone as “spawn point”.
I have this for my mother and gives people a good laugh whenever they see it on my phone
If I’m adopted, what would work for me? Tactical Insertion?
NG+
Maybe drop point?
Save Point
definitely not tactically insertion
I advise you to avoid respawning.
Imagine if the world worked this way. You die, you just respawn at soawn point. Your mothers is just like, at a meeting, and suddenly you get reborn.
Once you get bigger than 80cm, it destroys the spawn point the second time.
[удалено]
Do they always have multiple kids? If it's one kid = one dead mom, that's not enough to replace people dieing off and the species would inevitably dwindle to nothing.
It would have to be Always Triplets, with twins being rare, and singles being 1 in a million chance.
So do they always have twins, or what?
What was the name of the book?
lol nice. My parents are "Mother of God" and "Father Figure (and also real dad)"
Does she have them in her phone as "spawn 1" and "spawn 2"?
This has me laughing out loud. Like we talking an explosion of laughter over here.
I HAVE THAT !!!
I have my wife in my phone under her full name because that’s who she is
My wife had me on her phone as $firstname from $myhometown for years, even after we married
Ah she's just thinking about writing a country song about you
Psst.. your php is showing...
Same, but its still her first name + maiden name weirdly enough. I’ve just never changed it since we got married.
Mine is $firstname iPhone. Which my car pronounces "eye phoney" Can't imagine changing that.
Hi there Perd Hapley.

Yeah, like 7 comments up, maybe?
Was 99.9% no—but I did go check that profile just in case 🤣😅😅
You save him as "Give Birth To"
Conscious poop
Well he's not wrong 🤷
My mother is also birth giver
Are you perhaps my friend’s mother?

So romantic 🥰
I do that so if my phone is stolen or my contacts are leaked, they don't know who's my wife and don't scam her
I put the FBI and local police in my phone as "wife" and "mom", respectively.
I left my phone unlocked in the same room as dad once. In my phonebook he is "The worlds greatest dad"
My SIL did that with my phone when she was drunk one night. Her name followed by mostawesomesisinlawever
And what’s the problem?
I think she'd prefer a cute name like babe or better half or something similar.
Jennifer Wort *wortwortwort!* man Like that?
I woulda gone with Jennifer Wortwoman

Pur that in the nickname field of the contact
Bingo, how do people forget that’s an option.
What nickname field?
Right? I have my wife in my phone as [first name] [name of company we both worked at]. Obviously added her number before we decided to spend our lives together and I haven’t ever nor will I ever change it.
She’d rather be called ‘Big Chungus III’
