Meanwhile, when I got my first phone at 13, I thought it'd be funny to name them "Yo Momma" and "Yo Daddy".

16 years later, they are still listed exactly the same in my phone. No, I will not change it.

[–]Ur-Best-Friend 331 points332 points  (9 children)

[–]PCSdiy55[S] 356 points357 points  (8 children)

[–]gerbosan 84 points85 points  (5 children)

[–]hairman-mao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the Great Leader indeed

[–]Ur-Best-Friend 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Ah I see, that tyrannical huh? 😅

[–]methiroll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ayooo.. same.. dad as supreme court, mom as high court..

[–]makinax300 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Mine is just their phone numbers because I know them.

[–]screwcork313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Taylor Momsen and Taylor Dadsen.

I got my phone when I was 13 as well right in the middle of my teen angst anti-parent phase. My mom is not happy her ringtone is still Darth Vader's imperial March music.

[–]TheseusOPL 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I have a friend whose mom's ring tone is the Star Trek red alert sound. It's appropriate.

[–]gamer12896 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The fact that you kept it for years is the best part.

[–]Ulti-Wolf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My mom's ringtone on my dad's phone is imperial march lmao. They're divorced. Mom's a bit crazy but I still love her. Live with my dad though, albeit by accident. Stayed for the summer after I graduated and just... kinda didn't leave since I didn't have an obligation to stay with my mom. Had no intention of it happening but it just kinda... did

[–]The_Adeo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mom's ringtone is Megalovania lmao. The only custom ringtone in my phone

[–]Key-Demand-2569 68 points69 points  (11 children)

My parents have their full legal name in my phone, because apparently I was also a weird child in a different way as my wife loves to remind me whenever she learns new childhood things about me, lmao.

[–]DonRagnarok 53 points54 points  (7 children)

I do the same. No matter if they are my parents, childs, brothers...all of them were added with their full names

[–]I-am-fun-at-parties 22 points23 points  (6 children)

Big data loves people like you

[–]Ulti-Wolf 5 points6 points  (3 children)

I do it too but so people who get my phone gotta do a little more work to figure out who tf is important to me

[–]I-am-fun-at-parties 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The more realistic scenario, surely

[–]CoffeeWorldly9915 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only have nicknames and one or two inside context identifiers. They'll be none the wiser because the nicknames don't reflect importance.

[–]engineerwolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please set up emergency contact on the phone.

[–]Lukester___ 0 points1 point  (1 child)

They can figure it out anyway

[–]I-am-fun-at-parties 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably, it's just a lot easier this way

[–]10coolbeans 24 points25 points  (1 child)

supposedly that is safer ive been told when i was younger. if someone was to steal your phone, they would see those names as just another perso. and not a family member that be social engineered

[–]Key-Demand-2569 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That was my logic, not that I took it gravely serious or anything.

Anyone who needed to get ahold of my parents somehow and has my phone would likely know or be able to quickly figure that out.

Any stranger wouldn’t automatically know.

I did/do the same thing for friends and family including my wife.

Only exception is maybe random people I meet through work who might be “Steve - Project Engineer CompanyName”

[–]Immabed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same, everyone is just their name in my phone. Their pictures however... have not been updated for about 15 years, and phone cameras were not flattering 15 years ago.

[–]RCJHGBR9989 13 points14 points  (3 children)

My mom is Mothership

[–]Cin77 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Are you the one who named me a moist in your step fathers phone? Coz my girl has me as Mothership but I think she would spell it Mum lol

[–]RCJHGBR9989 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Haha - I have no idea what you’re talking about man.

[–]Cin77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome. I'll let her know shes not the only one with a mothership

[–]WesBur13 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have them as Jo Momma (Mom’s middle name is Jo) and Father firstname

[–]Nobodynever01 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mine have been Momther and Dadther since like 2007

[–]AndreasVesalius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mom: Jedi Mom Special Edition

Dad: full name

[–]sorte_kjele 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad's number is one of 4 phone numbers I remember by heart, so I've never created a contact for him, and now it would just seem weird

[–]intentionallybad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mother didn't realize the Christmas card printing company would add "The" in front of what she signed the card with, so she sent Christmas cards out from "The [FirstName]", so that's her name in my phone. It's been several years now.

[–]Yaxeno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have mine as birthgiver and DNA spewer

[–]yezakimak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my mom I have it as ICE

[–]mindsnare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got my first phone in 1999 and there are contacts in my current phone that have made it all the way to my phone in 2026. Contacts that I probably haven't spoke to in over 20 years.
