You likely know your sibs better than anyone, which is why you’re very qualified to give them a fitting contact name!

For example, if you always make fun of your baby bro or sis for being shorter than you, give them a short-person nickname like “Bug,” “Short Rib,” or “Funsized.” Here are some other nicknames for brothers and sisters:^{[4]

Aesthetic Emoji Contact Names

If you’re less about the words and more about the vibes, then consider changing all (or some) of your contact names to aesthetic emojis and emoji combos! Just be sure to choose your emoji contact names wisely and with purpose, or you won’t be able to remember who’s who in your phone! For example, if you always call one of your friends your “pea in a pod,” you could include the pea pod emoji (🫛) in their name. Here are some other examples that you can assign to contacts based on personality, hobbies, inside jokes, or whatever floats your boat:
