icloud contacts nickname changed by itself

I have a contact with a nickname of JOJO. it changed from wednesday night to THursday morning to JOJOITEM...followed by a looooong paragraph of text. When I called support, they suggested I edit it back without any thought to look at why only a few contact records changed. Anyone else have unrequested record changes?

Contact Changed When Called There are some contacts that have the “contact name” or “_____”. It seems to be adding a nickname to some of my contacts. I have turned off short name and nicknames in the contact settings but the issue remains. I would like contacts that aren’t my Mom to not show up as “Contact Name or Mom.”

Contact name “And 2 others” on Incoming Caller ID I’ve confirmed that the contacts who are showing this on incoming caller ID do not have any other linked accounts in their profile and their numbers are no associated with anyone else in my contacts. Is there another resolve for this issue?

Contacts being corrupted with additional information I've been noticing issues with Siri being able to find people in my contacts. As I've started going thru my contacts they're a strings being attached to the ends of some fields in some entries. Usually it is being attached to the phone number, country or homepage fields. it tends to start with x-item like country "United StatesX-Item" and then a bunch of information that looks like meta data for an app. Included are things like CATEGORIES:Personal, etc. Does anyone know which apps might be corrupting the apple contacts?
