delete your contact cache from "C:\Documents and Settings\<WINDOWS USERNAME GOES HERE>\Contacts" and find your email address and delete it.

This is a known issue:

If you've done this, do the following (applies to Windows Live Messenger 8.1) ...

On XP:
Sign out of Messenger. Click Start, then Run, type:
%userprofile%\local settings\application data\microsoft\windows live contacts

and click OK. Right-click the e-mail folder corresponding to your email, and choose Delete. Then sign back into Messenger.

On Vista:
Sign out of Messenger. Click Start, type:
%appdata%\..local\application data\microsoft\windows live contacts

and click OK. Right-click the e-mail folder corresponding to your email, and choose Delete. Then sign back into Messenger.
