    Like most people sure, full names I get it I’m with you. But your mother? You have her in your phone under her full name?

      Yes since I sort my phonebook by lastname it keeps family members grouped. Also you can add what the relation of a contact with you is in your “My Card”. So you can still tell Siri to ”Call Mom” and it will pick the right number even though it’s not stored as “Mom”

      And my father. In fact, mother is in there with first name and her maiden name, despite being remarried. There was some logical reason I did it a while ago that I’ve forgotten. Either auto complete or audio dial or something.

        Scams. If someone did get ahold of your phone and it was unlocked, it keeps them from texting “Mom” “hey, I’m stuck in [xx] and I need you to send me $1500. Send it to my friend’s venmo, because mine is messed up right now.”

      The contacts app has a field for “first name” and one for “last name”. I fill out the data that the forms give me. So yes, my parents are under their real names.
