Q: On my iPhone5, the user in air drop comes up as private list instead of the contacts name. Can't figure out why that is.

Why does contact come up as private list when using air drop?

iPhone 5, iOS 6

Nevermind - figured it out. The email address of the recipient for their apple ID was in my contact list as private list (for some odd reason). Once I moved that address to their contact entry it worked perfectly.
