Quotation marks under some contact names

So I have this issue that's been bugging me for a while. Under some of my contact names there are quotations (ie ""). I know where they are coming from, they are from the field "Nick Name." The problem is that I do not have any nick names for any of my contacts. Whenever I go to edit a contact on my iphone, the "Nick Name" field is always there, but it is blank (and there is no way for me to get rid of it). Unlike other fields such as "Prefix" or "Suffix", if I add them, but then do not fill in that field with anything when I edit the name, the field automatically goes away. I have checked Address Book and none of my contacts have a "Nick Name" field. The same is true for my MobileMe Account. This is really annoying!!! It seems as though my iPhone is randomly deciding to add the field "Nick Name" to some of my contacts, and does not give me the option the delete that field. Does anyone else have this issue and know what to do?

Also, I have checked and there is no space or anything in that field (it is completely blank) and I have tried replacing all my contacts on my iPhone and even restored my iPhone to factory settings and then synced everything back. (No Workie)
