Try clearing your contacts cache.

Exit WLM and delete the two contact caches (folders) corresponding with your

    %userprofile%\contacts
    %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Contacts
    (fastest way to get there is to go to start > run..then type in the folders as i put them above)

    After that restart WLM and sign in again...now note that first sign in might take a little longer as WLM will have to get your contactlist from the server. How long it takes depends on the number of contacts you have on your list.

WLM probably doesn't look at the contacts' names. It may be that WLM hasn't seen the contacts' names because none have come online yet, and so the contacts cannot tell you what they're called. I'm not sure, cause I don't know a whole heap about WLM and/or MSN, so you never know.

Try Felu's idea, and if that doesn't work, refer to the above

Did you use the Messenger Plus! 3 Custom Names feature? If you did, well no wonder your not seeing it, it's because Windows Live Messenger has it's own nickname feature, thus it was removed from Messenger Plus! Live. As of yet, no one has found a way to get the old information and place it into Live Messenger's feature. So get the good old friend, pen and paper and hop to it.

flews worked than sluie good one man seeya
