O.P. Sugestion - Different display names to different contacts

Maybe this is impossible, maybe it isn't. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to show different display names to different contacts? For example, some friends call you "A" and some call you "B", and so those who call you "A" get your display name as "A", while those who call you "B" get your display name as "B". Is this possible? Thanks

You're right, it is impossible, at least for you to do. Your contacts can still set a nickname for you however, and they then change it to whatever they want

The closes thing you might be able to do was to set a chat-only name that changes depending on the contact (afaik SPNG still has chat-only names?).
