    I can see how this would be a huge help for people who have many friends with the same name who refuse to add their last name to their accounts! This isn’t on our roadmap yet, but it’s something we’ll consider in the future.

    Some other ideas. If I clear a friend's nickname then it should revert back to their preferred name. The initial starting point for a new nickname should come from the preferred name. This is how IM works where the login name is different from the desired alias or local aliases. In addition to the problem of having two "Tom"s to distinguish between, I personally prefer proper names for all my contacts for consistency. Right now if my friend has a name like "Fat Albert" I would like to remove the ambiguity and add a nickname like "Albert Chow".
