The way partners save each other's contact names reflects their relationship dynamics and intimacy. Experts suggest personal nicknames indicate a bond, while using full names may suggest formality. Nonetheless, this isn’t universal as some prefer practicality for emergencies. A poignant anecdote highlights this when a woman, unable to identify her contact name during a crisis, realized she was saved as 'My Girl.' This incident illustrates the blend of affection and embarrassment that can come from how couples label each other digitally.
Since the name on our phone is a visual symbol of our partner, and a reminder of our relationship with them, using personal jokes or nicknames can reflect a deeper or more intimate connection.
If our partner uses our full name just like they would for any other contact, we might feel they don't attribute additional value to our communication.
Some practical people save all their contacts by their legal name - and it can be a huge help in emergencies.
In the end, she learned that she was simply saved as 'My Girl' - a sweet fact she only learned after breaking a bone and being publicly embarrassed.
