Address Book Automatically Changing

[jwassel]

i use gmail through my Mac Email, i have it synced up. My contacts are labeled as my friends names, for instance Joe Smith, would just be "Joe." Everytime I email someone, their name automatically changes, and the last name is added, so Joe, is now Joe Smith. On the surface this doesnt seem like a terrible problem, but a lot of my friends I call by their last name, so if Joe Smith was entered under Smith, after i send an email, he is now "Smith Smith."

In addition this change translates over into GMail, and my GChat contact would now be named Smith Smith.....any idea how i can fix this, or do i just have to label everyone with their first and last names?

thanks

I don't know how to fix the problem, but I had a similar one. Gmail and other Google services make automatic changes to contacts, so I had to disable sync with Google Contacts to keep my address book from getting messed up.

i gotta imagine theres someway around this though right?
