What is your number stored as in OH’s phone?

Does your OH save your number in their phone as a nickname or do they use your actual name?

Day to day, DP uses a shortened version of my name when talking to me or about me but in his phone I am listed as full first name and surname which I always find amusing.

I know of friends who are stored under pet names/emojis etc so just interested to see what the majority is!

"First name, Surname, (Spouse)"

Because of the job he does, his colleagues all have the same format.

Gymtok · 22/01/2023 17:19

I'm Mrs (first letter of our surname) followed by a ring emoji. 😁😁😁.

Natsku · 22/01/2023 17:21

I don't know, I'll have a look tomorrow but DD laughed at me when she noticed I have his stored as his full name (first name last name). I don't even know why I have it stored as that.

Just checked and it's actually "AA First name, Surname, (Spouse)" in case of emergencies.

Full first name and he is name (boyfriend) as apposed to all the other names I know.

00100001 · 22/01/2023 17:23

Firstname

QueSyrahSyrah · 22/01/2023 17:25

I was full first name and surname in DH's phone until after we got married, at which point I protested! I'm now 'Wife' I think.

TheTempest · 22/01/2023 17:25

He’s first name fancy pants last name in mine with (husband) after and I’m first name last name (wife) in his. We do all have a lot of emojis after them though that DD added in 😂

Don't see the point of being called "ICE name."

Everyone's phone is locked by fingerprint or password etc. These days. How would anyone find it? If you are unable to get into the phone?

My ICE number is in the screen lock and as label on the back.
It is also set up as a lock screen emergency contact,if you know to access that from lock screen. But I presume noone will, hence the locks screen text and the sticker (if no battery/screen broken etc)

Inextremis · 22/01/2023 17:31

I'm on there as 'The Wife'. Fine with me!

Tilllly · 22/01/2023 17:37

No idea

Probably Her Majesty

WWGDD · 22/01/2023 17:41

Aardvark so I'm at the top of the contacts list. Not romantic but practical. He's in mine as ICE.

MrNorrell · 22/01/2023 17:42

I think it's just my first name, but he keeps joking about changing it to something horribly sentimental after finding out that he was still saved as "Firstname from work" in mine (we were colleagues originally).

I just kept forgetting to change it, but we're getting married in a few weeks so he may have a point.
I was thinking of waiting until after the wedding and changing it to "Firstname from wedding", but I quite like the "Firstname, lastname (spouse)" idea from PP.

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 22/01/2023 17:43

I think it depends on whether he's ever had to give my number to someone else. For instance my Mum has been in my phone as 'Mum' for years but last week someone asked me to forward her number to him so I changed it to 'first name surname'. I suspect that I'm just 'nickname' in his though. He is 'first name IRL' in my phone as he also used to have a UK number.

Amazing Wife. And quite rightly so!

Simonjt · 22/01/2023 17:45

Rugby big peach, saved from when we first met so he could kind of remember which date I was.

BitterAndTwistedChoreDodger · 22/01/2023 17:46

Soup Dragon.

MajorCarolDanvers · 22/01/2023 17:47

My name

oceanbleu · 22/01/2023 17:52

First and last name however I added hearts and emojis after my first name which is how he is saved in my phone. He's kept it suprisingly Grin

KateBalesCardi · 22/01/2023 17:52

I don't want to say (Blush) but we are both stored in each other's phones under the names we entered each other under 22 years ago. It's actually a nice reminder of who we were before marriage/DC/life happened and I doubt we'll ever change them.

QueSyrahSyrah · 22/01/2023 17:54

@MrNorrell Please change it to 'Firstname from Wedding' GrinGrin

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 22/01/2023 17:54

DH has the same "A" name as several of my colleagues, and he's not alphabetically first by surname, so he's stored as "Aandy".

EarthlyNightshade · 22/01/2023 18:01

I think I am wifey2 due to me getting a new phone at some point in the distant past.
(wifey is my old number before anyone sees red flags)
He's in mine as first name.

MyMachineAndMe · 22/01/2023 18:04

I think he has me as my name whereas I put him as "Husband" so anyone on my ICE list knows who he is.
