How can automatically used Gmails contacts name by défaut for unified card ?

I always type my contacts name with the same model (eg SMITH John, LEE Jack,...)

but now, with Facebook integration, when a name matches with a Facebook friends name -> the unified card take automatically the Facebook name (Smith John)...

So my contact list is totally disordered...


I've tried to change this manually, contact by contact.... It was ok, but just momentely... After a Facebook Update (i think), facebooks name got the upper hand...


Is there a solution ?

Same here. Only had my iPhone 5 for less than 2 months but it keeps changing unified card back to facebook name and picture. I really like having customized names (ie: "Mom" instead of her whole name on facebook) and I really like having fullscreen caller ID pics.. and changing the unified card works great, but only for a couple days and before I know it, its back to FB contact.


Although I will say that I am a little relieved that its not only me and im not doing something wrong.. but it's still frustrating! I hope they will have an update soon that fixes this issue!

I was sure I have something messed up on my mac and syncing keeps overwriting my adress book, but I see it's not ony me having this issue. But there's a strange issue with mac contacts as well, when I use iMessage on Mac, it chooses contacts that are on my mac, iCloud has the lowest priority (maybe that's the answer?).
