Inlaws are first & last name. @MrsTiz: that's what I think too. But now that I think about it... nobody would ever find my mom in my list and she would be who I'd want called (& DH but he is listed as 'huzzyband'). I might need to rethink my contact names!

So Mom is Mom, Dad is Dad, but DH's mom is Firstname Lastname (I don't call her mom, and everyone but DH and parents has a last name in my phone). I do like sorting by firstname in the iPhone, though - I think it makes finding people a lot easier! mamabolt on "How did you name your parents and/or in-laws in your phone contacts?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-name-your-parents-andor-in-laws-in-your-phone-contacts#post-419263 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 13:21:52 +0000 mamabolt 419263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ All are listed by first/last in my phone.

I always put important people to me as their relationship to me, because if *God forbid* something ever happened to me, who ever finds me needs to be able to contact someone who knows me and will most likely look for Mom or Dad in my phone if I can't talk. mediagirl on "How did you name your parents and/or in-laws in your phone contacts?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-name-your-parents-andor-in-laws-in-your-phone-contacts#post-419251 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 13:18:26 +0000 mediagirl 419251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ First and last. Mom and Dad are in their "nickname" section of the contact, if you get that far.

Mom is mom. In laws are (Hubby's name) Mom and (hubby's name) dad. mrsjazz on "How did you name your parents and/or in-laws in your phone contacts?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-name-your-parents-andor-in-laws-in-your-phone-contacts#post-419242 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 13:15:10 +0000 mrsjazz 419242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ First and last name with a hyphen and their relationship to me: First Name Last Name-Mom.

I also use my grandparents' pet names instead of their actual names!

I was thinking though if someone stole my phone now all they'd have to do is look at who I text frequently and they could figure out who my mom and spouse are. Oh well.

Wow, so interesting! I never considered naming my parents anything other than "Mom" and "Dad." Bee's parents are listed as "Bee's Mom" and "Bee's Dad." How did you name your parents and/or in-laws in your phone contacts?
