phone names

My shiny new iphone.
I always swore I wouldn't get an iphone before I owned a house ($$) but the stars aligned and the price was right so... i did it. But that's beside the point.

In one of the many searches to find my misplaced phone, I used Cameron’s cell to call mine. And guess what…

I found myself in Cameron's phone contacts as "Lindsay Rondo", my full and official name. I of course brought this to Cameron’s attention and asked if he could be any more formal? He saw nothing wrong with it; it was my name. Not even just Lindsay? Okay there might be another Lindsay since it was a popular name of the 1980's so it's possible there might be a duplicate but I am THE Lindsay to him. Or how about Wife? Or My Girl? Or some other endearing name other than “Lindsay Rondo”. So jokingly I gave him a hard time for it and then told him that I want my name changed in his contacts for Christmas. Later, I mentioned this in front of my sister-in-law and friend and they both said they found the same thing in their husband’s phone. So good to hear I’m not alone.

All I know is that Christmas morning I better be “angel-pie-face-lovey-loo-loo” or something along those lines. :)


What are you in your significant other’s phone?

haha i think boys always default to whats most practical (at least mine does). I don't think I have a fancy name in my husband's phone either. Maybe I will write santa a letter...

Eryka said...

I'm just Margaret in Sir's phone. But he's Sir M in mine. But ha ha - I get it. Men are like that. :)

Pich and Roor said...

that's soo funny I always am trying to convince my husband to change me in his contacts. Mine is such a funny title before I tell you it you have to understand how sarcastic my husband is .. anyways he has me in his phone as "Eternal Spouse" lol he thinks it's hilarious & I've even changed it but he always changes it back to E.S. ughh men lol

Leah said...

Love the new Iphone. I have been waiting my turn for mine to. hopefully the stars align and mine gets lost too :)
I hope you get your "angel-pie-face-lovey-loo-loo" wish for Christmas. I should ask for the same since my name is also my full name. Men.

Jason and Bria said...

haha i was bria pratt until we got married and i stole his phone and put awesome wife so that I would be on the top of the list. luckily he never changed it back and i've been awesome wife ever since.

I love your new iphone! I've been contemplating whether or not I should switch to one for a while now. I think I'm sold. As far as the contact name goes, in my boyfriends phone I'm listed as my full name as well. Sigh. lol. Looks like there are quite a few of us out there that need to write a Christmas wish list! At least we're not alone!

Brie said...

when my husband first met me he put me in his phone as "girl with the black hair" I was still under that name until I finally changed it after 6 months of being married. Guys just don't think of these things.

Jessica Dimas said...

haha cute post. I think I'm "Jeads Dimas". The weird nickname he calls me + our last name, so I guess it's weirdly formal? How many "Jeads" does he know lol?! Guys are so funny.

Lauren Drugan said...

I'm not sure what I am, but now I will definitely be looking! Haha :)

Devin said...

ha ha ha that's so funny! My name is kind of different so my boyfriend doesn't have to overly specify... but I totally do that to other people in my contacts just so I don't switch them with someone else accidentally!

Anna said...

Boys are just like that. My fiance was in my phone first as "baby sexy love" and then later as "fiance bojangles" for some reason or another. I've always just been in there as Anna Rice. Yawn.

Anonymous said...

Haha! At least my last name was updated, I'm Ashley Bird in his phone.

It must be a girl thing, he is husband in my phone!

Brit said...

hilarious! so true.
i put shawny in for my man
and yep, i got the full name 26 letters in his...

i hope you get your christmas present (:

Lo. said...

i think i'm "lauren <3" :)

Christine said...

hahaha! Oh my gosh, I'm glad to know I'm not alone too! My husband totally has my full name in there, like I'm a random acquaintance. I tried to get him to change it a couple years ago... never happened.

Unknown said...

HAHA this is so hilarious and SO true. about a year ago i looked at my husbands "favorites" in his phone and I was dead last (mom and sister were first)...i quickly brought it to his attention that this is not the way it works- i am his #1 woman. i might be a little high maitenance about that stuff..oops :)

Stephanie said...

LOL thanks for the comments you seriously made me laugh =) new iphone is sooo exciting, the white one is super cute!! i'm sure it will bring much distraction and lots of fun photos

Anonymous said...

My husband and I have each other listed by first and middle name in our phones. Mitchell Finn and Katy Faith.

Haley said...

yay for getting the new iphone! and in glorious white! i may or may not be slightly jealous...mine's boring black. But it's the inside that counts right? ;)

and my hubs totally has my first and last name as my contact too! same with his parents' and grandparents' numbers. I definitely teased him a bit about that a while ago when I figured it out ;) I'm going to add that to my Christmas list too. Maybe I'll see "hot smokin' wife" in there come december. lol

Marcy Kay said...

I am actually "wifey" in his phone, Lol! Right now, he is in mine as his full name ;)

Kelly said...

Thanks for stopping by my blog!

I love my iPhone, and I swore I would never get one period. I guess things change :P.

I have my boyfriend as his full name in my phone, but I think he just has my first name in his. Maybe I'll play a trick on him one day and change it!

sarah nicole said...

Ha! Oh, boys... : )

Let us know what he decides on!

xo,

Brooke @ Silver Lining said...

Hate to admit, but he changed my name in his phone first. And I had to be prompted before I changed his name. I'm "Wife O' Mine" and he's "Mr. Husband." I guess it's not that practical for an emergency though... the police can hardly spend time searching for your favorite pet name in your phone haha.

Ha ha...how funny! Men are strange and interesting aren't they?!

Megan Marie said...

ohhh too funny. i'm baby girl. i'll keep it!

Daniela said...

hahah I laughed out loud at this one. men!

Michelle said...

Funny post!!!!!!! My hubby has me as My Baby in his contact's, thank God!!!!!! If he had me by my full name I would probaly give him a hard time too, lol!!!!!! I have him as My Love in my phone.... I love your phone!!!!!

Nessa @{Casa Braaflat} said...

my dad uses first and last names in his phone too. so official! i think i'm just plain old nessa in my hubbys phone. but i think a cute nickname would be much more fun!

Professor Fancy Pants said...

Well, I think I'm just Libby in my hubby's phone, but in my phone he is listed as HUSBAND because there are already 7 Mike's in my phone and I'd really hate to send a personal text to one of them. You know...something embarrassing like: "I overloaded/broke the washing machine. Again." :p

Jeff and Cali said...

ha! This is hilarious.I used to be Cali M------ in his phone. It would make me so mad that he wouldn't change my last name, but he was adamant that he not do it until it was legalized....so I went to the SS office and did it!
Right now, I'm "The Woman" in his phone, and he can text and call on his ipod, so I am "Habib G---" in there.
Not gonna lie, he is "Jeff" in mine!

Jessie said...

I'm pretty sure I am Jessie Pennington in my husbands phone, and I remember seeing it and being bugged. Ha!

Unknown said...

That is too funny! You'd think after you guys got married he'd at least change it to your first name. But who knows.. I've never been a great interpreter of guy logic.

ok, so i just changed my name in his phone a couple weeks ago! it was just kira and it bugged me that it wouldn't stand out to anyone seeing my name come up for a call. so now it is kira dawn yates cox, what he always calls me when he's being cute. and just in time for his phone to get stolen. we opted for the retired phone going back to work, though. we have stuck to basic phones forever! cute, though...i love how you are blogging a lot and how you've made it kind of interactive with the www. it's fun to read through your comments :) btw, i've gone through my contacts list and you are still in there, though I probably only used it once or twice...5 years ago? wow, time flies.

sometimes i think it's because everything is synced up now, so if he has Facebook on his phone for example, your name will come up as your first and last name or however you have it formally on FB or social network site or something. Cuz i used to be "moomie" in my husband's phone and then since we've gotten new ones it was my full standard name and i asked him and he said its cuz of fb and such. so that makes sense! but yes, they can still change it, what a wonderful christmas idea! ;D

oh, and i miss Cali, i grew up there and all my extended family lived in Anaheim and San Diego, you're so lucky you live there, yay!
