How Are Contacts in Your Phone?

[iacas]

I'm a "Mrs. Carey Barzeski" even for my wife type of person. A few people have the nickname field filled out, and many have avatars/profile pics. If they're a Dr., that is their title, and I just have to remember whether they identify as male or female. 😄

I'm pretty anal retentive about having first/last name for all my contacts. I have a lot of work related contacts from when I worked as a consultant, so I like to make sure the company field is filled out. If I need additional context for a contact, I will put it in parentheses with their first name, e.g., Todd (electrician), or Mike (golf), etc.

It’s almost an even split between Firstname Lastname and Nickname Combo for me, with a random splattering of contacts I’ve been sent from other people that are formatted their way because I never bothered to change it.

Mostly First and Last Name. If it's someone I want to remember associated with a business it might be like Jay (Henderson Construction).

Mostly firstname lastname.  No titles;  if I did, somewhere between a third and a half of my active contacts would have the prefix Dr. and that would just be confusing.  A few are in there as pseudonyms;  even though no one goes through my phone, it's just in case as I don't think they'd want their personal number getting released through my carelessness.   A few are missing last names, usually if I don't know that information about them for some reason, and a few have reminders if I only sort of know them or if there are two or more people I know with the same first-name last-name combination.  

Scrolling through the contact list, I have a ton of people I haven't had any communication with, phone or otherwise, in over a decade.  

The only time I have ever known how I'm stored in someone else's phone was back in college when I, at some point, found out that my then-girlfriend had me stored in her phone as "Bozo."

First name and a reference to why there in my contacts list, otherwise I've forgotten them unless I'm in regular contact....

[boogielicious]

First name, last name for the most part. There are a couple from The Sand Trap that I have their username for last name.

[woodzie264]

Typically First, Last but still frequently I will use first name with qualifier (similar option 4) as in “Amy - work” vs “Amy - church” or something like that, like @Colins69 was saying. 
 

as type “A” as I am, I just realized that I’m not super consistent on this.

This is mine also.

My colleagues are company name then their name and in certain cases their role/department/deal etc.  Most others are first name and a reference.  I also tend to put the place they live in, especially with colleagues and golf buddies.  I rarely use surnames but will occasionally do that when necessary

[KMP]

First and last name or first name and a reference/note or company.
