Contacts don’t show up on caller ID

My coworker called me today (I have their contact saved in my phone) and it just appeared as “WIRELESS CALLER”. And I have my mom saved under “Mom” and when she calls, it appears as her full name (last name first, in all capitals). My dad is saved under “Dad” and the same ID shows up for him (mom’s full name, last name first, in call caps). WTF is going on? These numbers are saved in my phone???

iPhone 5s, iOS 10
