Actually deleting contact cache causes this
problem occurence. I don't call this as a problem because this is WLM's special behaviour. While using WLM, contacts' names aren't stored at the server, but they are kept at computer's cache (of course if user keeps cache; you can find the related option in Options of Messenger>Security>"This is a shared computer, don't store my address book..etc. here"). So deleting and/or not keeping cache causes this issue.
People say this is a bug in WLM but I don't think so, I think this is intentional.
I know, signing in on an MSN Messenger can still update the contacts' display names on the server side.
I explained the same thing before and some people rejected, it is here:
WLM don't update server for contacts' display names You can try my statements, it is free.
