Just that really. I'm just curious.

Ie. "Babe❤️" or "John".

ICE

EnglishRose13 · 05/05/2019 16:41

His name.

topcat2014 · 05/05/2019 16:43

Her name (first names only on my phone as I don't have many friends :))

On DW phone it is (My first name) - Asda - as I once had a phone contract with asda mobile.

Waveysnail · 05/05/2019 16:47

His name. Makes me boke when friend starts darling and sweetheart on the phone to her oh

JaceLancs · 05/05/2019 16:47

On my phone it says his first name
On his phone he has me as Petal
It is a joke between us as I am the least petal like person you can imagine

SheSaidNoFuckThat · 05/05/2019 16:50

His nickname

nopen · 05/05/2019 16:58

First name last name!

Slicedpineapple · 05/05/2019 17:01

His name.

I always cringe when I discover friends have their DHs/DPs saved as 'My One True Love xxxxxxx'

But it's also none of my business

SunshineCake · 05/05/2019 17:08

His full name. A friend saw and thought it was funny/daft/strange. I changed it to just first name then his pet name and it made me feel confused. I tried The Husband too and that just made me feel rubbish so now it's full name again, as is everyone. Friends, in-laws, etc.

RagingWhoreBag · 05/05/2019 17:15

Slightly off topic but how are the emergency services supposed to get into your phone contacts in the event of an emergency? They wouldn’t know the code to unlock it?!

I presume they would use my fingerprint to unlock it?

DP is named under a well know female character in a sitcom. Not really sure why this happened in the first place! I am sure there was a reason! I know I was in his phone as a male character too!
He has changed mine to my correct name, I never changed his back! People always assume this is because we must have started from an affair, this is not the case. I should change it really!

Battie · 05/05/2019 17:19

His first name.

Ie 'Bob'

Trebla · 05/05/2019 17:25

ICE and full name - personal
Full name- work

NotReadyForThisX2 · 05/05/2019 17:26

His name, he gets an emoji next to it, but that's personal. I still have his parents as Dp's name mum/dad rather than their name and his brother the same. I just added it like that and never changed it. My mum is mum, grandparents grandma first name etc. Friends with same name I'll either put second initial or where I know them from so say Jane (uni) and Jane (work).

spicypickle · 05/05/2019 17:27

He's saved in my
Phone as Terry Tit Wank has been for years

NotReadyForThisX2 · 05/05/2019 17:30

My ice is under medical id on iPhone. So can be accessed when phone is locked and gives my details, name dob and that I'm currently pregnant, plus emergency contacts.
Very useful to do if not already done so.

DefinatelyAWeeGobshite · 05/05/2019 17:32

The Husband. He added “Tea Maker” to his contact also, true!

JaretsGirlfren · 05/05/2019 17:35

Just his name.

In his I’m saved as ‘My Rose’. My name isn’t Rose or anything similar, that’s just what he calls me Blush

MooBaaLaLaLa · 05/05/2019 18:11

My ex is saved under, "Ignore this Twat"

AhhhHereItGoes · 05/05/2019 18:23

His nickname.

So like Steve/Stephen.

DitheringBlidiot · 05/05/2019 18:24

His name..

SallyGardens · 05/05/2019 18:34

FirstName LastName (Husband) (ICE)

My mother and sister are listed similarly. If emergency services need it, I'll either be conscious and able to give them the code or they can use my finger/thumbprint.

notapizzaeater · 05/05/2019 18:37

ICE then his real name

Claire90ftm · 05/05/2019 19:35

@Curiositywon I think you misunderstood when @AveAtqueVale said that it was weird. They weren't saying that calling parents "mum and dad" was weird. They were saying that they'd heard that calling them by their full names was weird.
