I don’t know who needs to hear this, but basic contact names in your phone like “mom” and “Lily” simply don’t cut it anymore. It’s officially time to add a little more personality and flare to your contacts, because, let’s be honest, you probably haven’t updated them since you got a phone in the first place.
Whether it’s your significant other, best friend, or a random contact labeled “Tinder John,” creative contact names are now the move. But how do you come up with a fun, playful contact name that perfectly explains your relationship with someone? With our help, of course. Below, you’ll find a list of 100+ creative contact names for your partner, friends, and family.
You can either stick with classic nicknames for these individuals or come up with something fresh that makes you smile whenever you get a notification from them. If you’re having some trouble thinking outside of the box for a contact name that will stick, consider using one of these creative contact names below. (And while you’re on a renaming spree, don’t forget to name your plants and group chat, too.)
