In that case, I'll put in the last name for the second person with that name but I don't add the last name to the first. So like I'd have a Jane and then a Jane Smith. I've just always done it like that, since my first phone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-input-the-last-name-of-close-friends-in-your-iphone-contacts-list#post-419220 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 13:05:04 +0000 Meridian 419220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, first and last! I just got a new Android phone, and somehow I ended up having 3 or 4 separate listings for some people, because it pulls from google, yahoo, facebook AND my old phone contacts! It took me a while to delete and/or merge some contacts, argh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-input-the-last-name-of-close-friends-in-your-iphone-contacts-list#post-419152 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 12:37:46 +0000 birdofafeather 419152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep, everyone has a first and last name, even DH. i hate when i don't know someone's last name. it messes up my contacts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-input-the-last-name-of-close-friends-in-your-iphone-contacts-list#post-419147 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 12:36:57 +0000 fairefaire 419147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I have full names for everyone EXCEPT for random people whose names I know I won't remember, but whose numbers I want to keep... for example, the guy who did our drywall is saved as "Mike Drywall Guy".... last name Drywall Guy... since I know that's what I"ll search for! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-input-the-last-name-of-close-friends-in-your-iphone-contacts-list#post-419070 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 11:48:44 +0000 travelgirl1 419070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No but I do have DH in as first name and initial of last name... It's from before we were dating and even when I buy new phones I'm too superstitious to change it over to just first name. He thinks I'm nuts :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-input-the-last-name-of-close-friends-in-your-iphone-contacts-list#post-419069 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 11:47:51 +0000 Andrea 419069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, first and last. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-input-the-last-name-of-close-friends-in-your-iphone-contacts-list#post-418988 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 11:19:24 +0000 mediagirl 418988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, they're all picked up from my Gmail contacts so, it has their first and last names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-input-the-last-name-of-close-friends-in-your-iphone-contacts-list#post-418987 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 11:18:54 +0000 Alivoo01 418987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can sort my first name, that's how I have mine! I only input last names if I have more than one friend with the same first name or if I'm not particularly close to them and need their last name to help remind me which Sara it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-input-the-last-name-of-close-friends-in-your-iphone-contacts-list#post-418921 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 11:02:28 +0000 SAHM0811 418921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>the iPhone can sort by first name too! I do usually still put first and last names though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-input-the-last-name-of-close-friends-in-your-iphone-contacts-list#post-418829 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 10:38:47 +0000 .twist. 418829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: haha mine too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-input-the-last-name-of-close-friends-in-your-iphone-contacts-list#post-418816 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 10:35:25 +0000 autumnlove 418816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-input-the-last-name-of-close-friends-in-your-iphone-contacts-list#post-418811 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 10:34:45 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 418811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I do! My parents aren't listed as mom and dad either, but by their first and last name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-input-the-last-name-of-close-friends-in-your-iphone-contacts-list#post-418807 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 10:33:28 +0000 .twist. 418807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hehe. I have everyone's last name in my phone contacts... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-input-the-last-name-of-close-friends-in-your-iphone-contacts-list#post-418804 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 10:32:39 +0000 mrbee 418804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to, but it got annoying since the iPhone sorts by last name. So I could never find the phone numbers of my closest friends, who I think of just by their first name.</p> <p>So I removed Bee's last name, so I can find her under B for Bee. Best thing ever.</p> <p>Do you input the last name of close friends in your iPhone contacts list? </p>
