Help me work this out?

I was on WhatsApp yesterday and noticed a man's name on my list of contacts that I've never seen before, let's say it's James. I was adamant it's no one I have in my actual address book on my phone but checked and there it is. I checked his picture and I haven't the foggiest clue who he is!

So then I'm going through my address book and I've found a landline number for someone called Joanne. I don't know a Joanne either so really couldn't tell you where it's come from. It's the first time I've had a look at all my contacts as it's a brand new phone from last month, all the contacts should have been imported from Google. I was sure when checking my contacts were all backed up last month that those two were not there.

Any other possible explanation other than I've lost my damn mind?!

Has your WhatsApp synced with your Facebook contacts? That's how a few randomers appeared on mine!

I've got people I don't know as well, turns out they were once connected to the playgroup that I was on the committee for. I had accessed the gmail account for the playgroup on my phone so I assume my phone had synced all the people associated with that email account into contacts on my phone. Could it be something similar?
