Messages on Mac now has initials instead of. names

How do I get the complete name to show on messages? If there is more than one person in the message, one of the names is only initials. How do I fix that. There is plenty of space for the whole. name to be shown.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.6

Actually, I figure it out. In the contacts app, for some reason Apple had put initials as nicknames. I just deselected use nicknames and it fixed it self after restarting. Thank goodness.
