Now that you mention, maybe my brother shouldn't have saved his fiancé as "Suspected Spam". Weird to share.

Having your birthday in your name field is kind of sweet of her

I started doing this more properly when I kept finding myself with contacts like "Jim Applebee's" and "McFucker" and having zero idea who they were actually ever attached to

I also have all my contacts with full name sorted by last name. Just makes searching a contact easier, also that way you can tell Siri to call someone using their full name. You can just put in the contact details what your relationship is to that person and Siri will use that info. So you can just say to Siri “Call my wife” “Call my son” and still have them stored with their full name.

I finally put my sister in law in my phone with our now shared last name just today, since she texted me on my first phone that didn't just use google's backup on all my contacts and I had to look the number on my old phone and add her to this one.

I never update numbers. I realize when I see things like Danielle (Brothers name's gf).

He married her in 2019 and they have 2 kids now. Pretty safe to say I could have updated it. Just about every woman I know who got married and changed their last name, I never updated. I never delete numbers either, I don't actively talk to the 890 contacts in my phone, I may talk to 4. They just don't take up enough room to bother and who knows, maybe I go back to another town 10 years from now and call a random guy I remember. If we met up at bar it'd be like we had been hanging out the week before anyways.

My brother in law is still "[first name] sister's Boyfriend". They got married in 2013.

A relatively crappier version of this is to add them middle names. Brassica Walmart Kale might look weird if they see it, but it will help you remember that you know Brassica Kale from Walmart. For older compatibility reasons, I used to store helpful middle names starting with a period, so it's easier to search for them (so Brassica .Walmart Kale). Addig photos is a great idea, I don't do it often enough (as long as they let you take a photo).

As long as you list the other one as "Wife A" so that neither feels inferior.

But it's not really bad, right?

... right?

I think that transcription is incorrect ;).

I think it’s pronounced more.

“MAAAAA WWWIIIIIIFFFFEEE”

“ tinder”

I editet my wifes last name when we married. She wanted to change her name, necessitating the hassle for me to edit her contact information

Why not just add name onto Name and surname onto Surname fields?

People do regular maintensnce on their contacts?

I just noticed i've got each name x3 (exports & imports) and some of them last used 15 years ago.

Should have at least a middle initial, if not full middle name. Never know, might meet another Jennifer Wortman one day and it would probably be best to have some way of differentiating between the two. So you don't accidentally schedule a sex appointment with the other one and end up in the awkward position of either needing to cheat on your wife or break an appointment with 0 notice.

What else would you call them?
