150+ Best Contact Names for Your Crush: Flirty, Secret & Funny Ideas (2025)

Quick Take: We have all been there. You leave your phone unlocked on the table, a notification pops up, and suddenly everyone knows who you are obsessing over. It is time to change that contact name to something discreet, funny, or totally “delulu” to keep your secret safe.

Is there anything more terrifying than your crush texting you while you are showing your mom a meme on your phone?

Naming your crush in your contacts is a high-stakes game. You can’t use their full government name (too formal), but you can’t use “Future Husband” yet (too risky if they accidentally see it). You need a code name. Something that gives you butterflies when you see it, but keeps your business private from prying eyes.

Whether you are in the “talking stage,” the “it’s complicated” stage, or the “he doesn’t know I exist” stage, here is the ultimate list of contact names to keep your love life under wraps and your notifications looking cute.

If you want the classics that balance secrecy with subtle affection, start with these.

• Him. (Simple, effective, mysterious)

• Do Not Answer 🚫 (For the toxic ones)

• Blue (Or whatever color their eyes are)

• Future (Manifesting it!)

• Mr. Big (For the Sex and the City fans)

• Unknown Number (Keeps people guessing)

• The One? (Hopeful)

The Spiritual Connection: Manifesting via Contacts

Did you know that changing a contact name is a form of “Scripting”? In the Law of Attraction, writing down (or typing out) the reality you want helps bring it into existence.

If you label him “My Boyfriend” before he actually asks you out, you are signaling to the universe that you are ready for that title. It aligns your energy with the outcome you desire. Just be careful—don’t let him see it until it’s official!
