What to do next

Tip: If two people on your contact list have the same first and last names, they might have identical short names. If the contacts display in a private group, you can easily identify each person by creating unique nicknames. Nicknames display on your contact list only. Complete the following action to rename your contact with a nickname.
  • Right-click (Ctrl + click for Macintosh) the contact's name and click Edit Nickname.
