I have quite a few contacts with just their first name.
The Contacts app on my MacBook Pro continually adds last names -- if I had it in there at one time and since removed it -- back to the contact. Then this syncs over to my iPhone and iPads.
Why does Contacts do this and how can I stop it permanently?
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4), iPhone 5 iPad iPad mini
Hello HellBlazerRaiser,
If contacts are reverting back, the next place I would try to fix is at iCloud.com, from there you can edit from the source of the contacts. I have also provided and article that will assist with troubleshooting contacts across multiple devices.

Thanks for the reply!
I don't use iCloud.
It's my Contacts app in the MacBook that's changing the names for each device.
I deleted my personal contact from my MacBook Pro, my iPhone and both of my iPads.
I created a new card and again, my last name was added to the contact.
Why does this happen?
Does anyone know how to keep my MacBook from adding surnames of its accord?
This problem was resolved with Mavericks.
Thank You Apple!!!
Why Are Surnames Continually Added Back to Contact Entries After I Delete the Surname?
