First name Last name for everyone, except the cobweb-laden contacts from when I used to go on dates, a la "John Tinder." No emojis, though, and I think I need to change that!
Yep, same, guilty. Pretty sure there might still be some of those "Matt OKC"s rattling around deep in my contacts. Gonna give this emoji thing some serious thought.
Me, too. On the show Catastrophe, Rob Delaney puts Sharon Horgan in his phone as "Sharon London Sex" and does not change it even years later when they're married and have kids. I wonder how many people have their spouses in their phones as "Name Dating App."
First name Last name for literally everyone, including my parents / my husband / etc. However, if you're super special, you get an emoji after your last name.
I was extremely turned off by the After the Altar episodes of the latest season of Love is Blind but couldn't totally put a finger on why.. you nailed it! The drastic appearance changes (and all the seemingly enforced drinking, ALL the time) were so unsettling.
Apparently I'm an outlier- I actually have a lot of just first names in my contacts! Like, I just added a couple of cousins into my phone and on my cousin group chat, they're all in just by first names, except one who's "Lauren H" because I had another Lauren in my contacts. My sister's in there with her family nickhame and no last name. Back in college, with my old flip phone and T9, I added my friend Jon and accidentally wrote his name with that Scandinavian "o" with a line through it, and I've never changed it- amuses me every time I see it. The funniest thing is when you forget who someone is and why they're in your phone (I remember being super confused about one name in my phone before I figured out that he was a photographer we hired to take some Cengage author photos, years earlier).

I think probably a whole lot!

I need to hear more about these emoji! I gotta step up my game.

Super unsettling! I mean, I am still excited for the new season...but it gives me the ick, too.

Haha the forgetting who someone is justifies adding the last name! And that's hilarious that you had a Cengage photographer in your phone!
Love that last photo. You - just you. The best!
Thank you, Janet! YOU'RE the best! <3
