What causes Skype for Business to display incorrect contact names?
How to fix Skype for Business displaying incorrect names for contacts
While Skype for Business users may experience a wide variety of different problems, for those affected by this issue, displayed names for contacts are so overtly incorrect that the chances of the user being able to recognize them are slim to none. This might not be the end of the world for a Skype4B user with half a dozen or a dozen contacts in their Address Book, but when your workplace has 750 people on its Skype4B Address Book, some or all of the contact names being laughably incorrect is, simply put, a nightmare. As grave a problem as it may seem, however, there is no need to resort to extreme measures such as uninstalling Skype for Business and then reinstalling it to try and sort this issue out. This issue can be fixed, and the right names for all of your contacts restored, by simply removing proxy addresses from your Skype for Business Address Book. In order to do so, you need to: When the command has been processed, close the Skype for Business Server Management Shell, go back to your workplace computer and fire up Skype for Business – all of your contacts should now have the right names – finally putting this crisis to bed.
