40 Times People Used The Funniest Names To Save Contacts In Their Phones
Turns out, assigning certain names to your phone contacts is, in a way, a world of its own. There are unwritten rules that one should follow: for instance, it's completely unacceptable to have your spouse listed only as their name after years of being together. On the other hand, it's pretty funny if someone does have their significant other named that way. Even after years and years of marriage.
This whole thing has recently been proved by this short tweet in which a user @wrefinnej shared how she just found out that her husband has her number listed on his phone as "Jennifer Wortman." The post quickly went viral and it currently has over 300k likes. In addition, it inspired other people to share the most hilarious, quirky, and interesting ways someone has them or they have someone named on their contact list. With that being said, Bored Panda invites you to look through the best ones we managed to find!

Some users didn't quite understand why anyone would be mad if their number was listed like that on their significant other's phone.
"…how else am I supposed to have my husband in my phone???" one user commented. "I know! I’m feeling terribly insecure now because my husband is in my phone under his name. I’m not sure else how to do it," another one added.
In fact, some people even explained why they prefer to list people using their full names. "I use full names for general security purposes. If anyone gained access to my phone, familiar labels would be giftwrapping contact info for my entire family," one user commented.
"Friend was thrown off his bike, hit his head and was only just about able to say his wife's name over and over. He was in no fit state to recite numbers. They were able to call her, thankfully. Definitely worth having in there," another user added.
A few users pointed out how it could be extremely helpful to list your significant other as ICE (In Case Of Emergencies). "EMT/Paramedics suggest all phones have a separate entry entitled ICE (in case of emergencies), even if you have your spouse/so/parent/child/etc. Fully listed in contacts. It saves minutes when seconds matter!" someone wrote.
"My wife and I lust each other in our phones as ICE - In Case of Emergency. It was recommended by Emergency Services years ago to help them quickly locate the correct person to call if one was in an accident," explained another user.
Another user commented by giving an alternative to the ICE thing to iPhone users: "My husband is listed by his full name... but he has his own ring/text tone that is ONLY his... and I have him as my SOS contact coded to his contact via Apple so if something happened to me and the SOS function was activated it alerts him with a text to my location."
Turns out, many people have their loved ones listed with A letters in front of their name to make sure that they appear on the very top of the contact list.
"My husband appears on my phone contacts as AA his name (Emergency Contact). The AA ensure he is the first one in the list of contacts in case I have an accident or I am dead and someone need to be reach in my behalf. Hahahahaha. I am practical and dramatic. Hahahaaha," a user shared.
"I do the same thing for work contacts, but with ZZ so I never mistakingly send out inappropriate texts to them," another person added.

He Who Shall Not Be Named, or Called, or Answered, or Even Thought of Ever Again
Yes, I thought that was so clever I gave myself the first like!!

that reminds me my sister has me in her contacts as the one who must not be named she's an a****** -_-
ahahhahhaah mine is Frankenstein with the picture of the monster on the top of the restaurant in Niagara Falls!!! my kids laugh every time - they're 19 & 16 so I think it's ok and funny... they know... =0)
Imagine if ur drunk and u get a call from “ Ukrainian Private Investigator” I would be like “oh S**t What have I don’t now!!!” 😂😂😂
I just recently changed my mom to something other than her full name XD. I don’t even know why I had her full name, especially when my dad was “Papa”. She was scandalized when she saw it.
The automatic "Maybe" addition isn't more than 5--10y old though.
My contacts are all inside jokes. God help me if they ever have to call someone on my phone.
These were inspiring - as soon as I get my phone back, I shall be creating some hilarious contact names.
What did you do to have your phone taken away
Load More Replies...Please all just put ICE (in case of emergency) in front of your next of kin, whatever the nickname. Easier for emergency services to know who to call.......
Most phones now have an emergency contact label so it's easy for others to find and if it has that label others can call your contact without having to unlock your phone.

Not as crazy as other entries on this list, but still a lot of emojis
Load More Replies...My love's name was Vaughn, and I had him saved as "My Vaughn and only".
I almost forgot because it's since nearly forever: My best friend is small and has the same name as me. To ne she is Stöpsel (like a bathroom or sink plug) because she is tiny but without her it's all bad/down the drain. I guess this counts as weird.
I have my brother in my phone as "A constipated guy drinking prune juice" and I'm in his as "Scam Likely." Although nothing will beat my mom having my aunt in her phone as Hotfries McWetnugget.
Everyone in my contact list is listed first and last name, because I often have to forward contacts to other people. This includes my wife, mother , father, grandparents... it also makes them easier to find when you don't have to scroll through 300+ contacts trying to remember the nickname that you gave that one guy.
My husband is in my phone as ICE hubby and then his name. This way, first responders know he's the one to call In Case of Emergency (ICE), that he's my husband, and his name. Not as cute, but I have a medical condition and I play it safe. The custies are in our ringtones. My ringtone for him is a song he sang to me while we were dating (We've been married 25 years) and his ringtone for me is Gollum going on about his "Precious". XD
I dont understand the hate for having people in ur phone as their names tho.
My ex husband was saved as SAVAGE BEAST, the new guy I'm seeing is saved as Mi Paz (my peace)
My son's girlfriend sent me his new phone number. He is now saved as "❤️Honey", in my cell phone 😁😂
Anyone else who has the name and new, newer, newest, definately the latest etc after the name? Hard to keep track of 🤣
A mate of mine has a contact named 'Willie Dodger' in his phone, turns out to be a lesbian friend......
I saved my girlfriends phone number as 'LOW BATTERY'. Whenever she calls and I'm not around, the wife takes the phone and plugs it to the charger. It’s all good. /snark
I listed my mom as the scary lady ever since I got a phone so it's been like that for about 7 years uwu
A guy I was seeing casually for awhile in my phone as "Voldemort", and each time he gets a new number it's added under the same name and blocked. My kid's father is in my phone as "Baby Daddy Drama". Ex GF is in my phone as the Nuclear waste emojis. The guy I'm currently seeing is in my phone as "Casper the Friendly Ghost", he has me in his phone as "Wendy."
Im more of a ringtone person. My mom was the Star Wars Imperial March for about 10yrs and i retired it when she passed away. My kid sister is Pink Floyd's Money cause shes always looking for money. My older sister is the Allman Bros Blue Sky cause it was a fave band of our parents. My bestie is a Dave Matthews song cause thats 1 of our favorite bands. And hubs is Queen's You're My Best Friend cause hes my best friend...
I do have my own contact listed as Princess Penelope so my Australian man on Siri can call me that when i beckon him! Lol!
Load More Replies...Im friends with someone who plays guitar in a band and when he gave me his number I put it in my phone under "Guitar God" Apparently i wrote down the wrong number cos I tried to reach him and it didnt work, so when we finally met he wanted to check the nr and i gave him my phone and he noticed he was listed as Guitar God and I was so embarrased... i think he thought it was funny :-D

My ex boyfriend who unexpectedly broke my heart right before Christmas is listed in my phone as Doofus.
Mighty Tobaki... he is the mighty one who drank disgusting tomato-banana-cherry (kirsch) juice in a pub once = Partner of 12 years.
My husband has me as "Lady Glitter Sparkles" (I love glitter/anything that sparkles, so it fits...) It used to be "Spicy" but he still calls me that as a nickname. That or "Spice"
All my funny phone names are weird inside jokes. I have a friend in my phone as "Robert Pashinski," which does doesn't sound funny at first, but once you hear the backstory, it makes sense- My friend and I were talking about movies and she forget Robert Pattinson's name, and she managed to f**k it up so bad that it came out as "robert pashinski." The rest is history. Its hilarious to me, but everyone else thinks its weird lmao
I have a dear friend that is listed as, "Craig, Hider of Bodies". He vowed he'd support me in any way possible, no matter what.
I am bad for this some of my name's Horrible, taxi dude, blue car, black car, Jo nice hair to name a few
My husband is BB Bear in my phone. In his, he put me as Baby Bear. We think alot alike lol.
I put my coworker/company contacts under “H.” So they’re all together. It amazes me people think that’s weird.
My former drug dealer used to put an H in front of his junkies names he said it stood for happy. He did not sell heroin.
Load More Replies...For my husband is always been cute names like "hubby hot stuff" or "my beautiful husband" but as soon as he got glasses he became "Clark Cu*t"
