Q: Autofill problems Safari

I have allowed safari to autofill MY details for some time, recently however when I enter the first three digits of my name (rog) I get a offered a list of every other "roger" in my "contacts" - why has this started happening ... in Safari prefs I only have my contact selected for use by autofill ? How can i stop it using other names please ?

Please check Contacts to make sure your contacts card is marked as your card. Contacts/Card/Make this my card.

If you select your card and it has a'head and shoulders' on the right side, your card is already marked as you.

Try going to Safari/Preferences/Autofill/Using info from my contacts and click Edit. Does that take you to your contact card?

Thanks again Eric, yes head and shoulders is there and edit takes me to the correct card however I'm more concerned as to why I have encountered the oddness of other peoples information populating an autofill form ... I'll have o screen grab it next time it happens and add the image to the thread.
