Circle with initials on list of texted contacts

I haven’t a circle with no picture in it and initials below of a person in my contacts. This is not mine. It was not there ever and I do not want it. How do I remove it.

I understand your question now. Touch and Hold the Circle with initials until a sub-menu pops up. Choose Unpin from the menu.

Still there. It will remove previous contacts with their picture...

note red circled area... not me and does not go away.

normally texts fall lineally down in line as texts are received. (You use search to find them if needed). This circle with no picture and initials remain. When this person texts me the notification is found here on this circle and initial area....it does not move lineally down the line of received texts.

I want to remove it as it makes me feel like it is describing that this is my phone or me as primary contact. Liked a person ID ... appreciate the feedback.
