That has to do with how you have numbers saved in your contacts. If you have the same number listed for more than one person and one of them calls, it will display that. The only way around it is to remove the duplicate numbers, or have the shared number saved a different way. In other words, if you have the same number saved for several people at a workplace, then save a contact with the workplace name, and not associate it with a person, just save the person's home or cell number on their contact card.
