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!

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)

I think police can contact phone providers to gain access if necessary

I'm SCHBHL which is an abbreviation of an incredibly long nickname he gave me when we first got together 15 years ago!

If someone is unconscious you can try and open their phone with their thumb/fingerprints to gain access. We do this at work, and for the vast majority of people its the thumb of the right hand that unlocks it.

Mine is stored as an emoji in mine. Think I'm just my first name in his

My phone isn't locked. I suppose I should get round to doing that.

ItsAnOrgasmNotAFabergeEgg · 22/01/2023 18:54

I’m
❤️ name ❤️
on his phone and he’s

❤️ nickname nobody else calls him! ❤️
on mine.

(Those are heart emojis if you can’t see them).

I’ve only been with him 2 weeks and we’ve been through full name/surname and several different photos each already - every time I send him a pic he updates it as he says it’s better than the last one 🥰

AliasGrape · 22/01/2023 18:56

He’s a daft nickname in my phone but it’s based on his name so eg if his name was Bob and I saved it as Bobbydazzler.

I’m just firstname in his but I’ve just mentioned this thread to him and now he’s amusing himself thinking of ‘hilarious’ options to save my number as so who knows what it will be by tomorrow.

C1N1C · 22/01/2023 19:01

My wife is stored as "The wife", which she put in herself.

mymeatballsmymeatballs · 22/01/2023 19:16

Name Wife ICE 🍑

He's Name Husband ICE 💕

Different vibes for sure🤣

shinynewapple22 · 22/01/2023 19:28

Shortened version of my first name which I am known as by friends and family members

Sweetmotherofallthatisholyabov · 22/01/2023 19:35

I'm .my name- as a throw back from before smart phones and anything with punctuation would be the end of your contacts list so he could tap up and get my number quickly. I don't think he's changed it.

I still have my ICE contact from year ago before it was saved on the iPhone Lock Screen- I didn't bother changing it.

TokyoSushi · 22/01/2023 19:37

I'm just stored as Jane for example and he is just John.

My friends seem to be in two different camps, either totally formal such as Jonathan Williams or something totally cringe like big boi - there doesn't seem to be a middle ground! 🤣

FuckingHateRats · 22/01/2023 19:37

I am stored as 'Be Nice'. Apparently he needs the reminder 🤣🤣🤣

Beachsidesunset · 22/01/2023 19:38

'Mop' - from dollymop (plural dollymops) (slang, Britain) An amateur, often part-time, female prostitute in 19th-century London.

Wife

Nutrigrainygoodness · 22/01/2023 19:46

I'm (name)y💩 apparently 😂😂
Shes A(shortened version of her name) then she's at the top, but I always scroll too far down, so she might as well just be her name.

Mrstumbletap · 22/01/2023 19:47

Wifey and he is Hubby.

Lordofthebutterfloofs · 22/01/2023 19:53

Potentially outing

I am 'Wifey' he is 'Big Daddy' and no that's not a weird sex thing 😂

ForestofD · 22/01/2023 20:08

Mine says 'Name' Husband. Because I saw something from a paramedic once saying it is helpful to have that- if the phone is ringing and you've been in an accident, they can answer/or know who to call if you can't tell them the name of your spouse.
