How to display first name only on iMessage and Calls

Below use case was presented in 2018 with no response and I am posing the same issue I am experiencing now:


I have enabled short name to show only the first name of my contacts but both first and last name is shown when receiving messages or calls. I enter the first and last name into the correct sections in contacts (eg. so first name is in the first name box rather than both names in one box) so I am not sure why this is happening?

iPhone 11, iOS 16
