When creating contacts, you can enter nicknames. Is there a way to make these nicknames appear when your contacts call/text you as opposed to their full names?

Thanks.

Unfortunately, Apple hasn't given us that feature. As you probably already noticed the only place it displays is in the contact listing itself.

Ah right, no worries - at least I know for sure now. :-) – Anonymous Jun 1 '12 at 21:22
Maybe they will add that iOS 6? (I kind of doubt it though). – bassplayer7 Jun 1 '12 at 21:33

Jailbroken people can opt to install Nickname from Cydia.
