One of my MSN contact is French and is not very good in English.

j'aurais besoin d'un coup de main, est-ce que tu sais à quoi correspond le "friendly name" ? je commande un truc sur un site anglais et on me demande ça au milieu des informations sur la carte bancaire (entre name on card et card type)



Here's the translation of his request :

I need some help, do you know what "friendly name" means ?  I am ordering something on an English website and they ask me this among the infos on the credit card (between "name on card" and "card type"



Thanks in advance.

'Friendly name', between 'name on card' and 'card type'?

Well the 'name on card' is your full name as it appears on the card and on official documents (Passport, Birth Certificate etc.) and might be in the form of Alexander J. Peterson or something (a random example, i dont know if such a name exists), and 'friendly name' might be something like Alex Peterson- aka the name you normally use in everyday and people contact you by.

I took a look at the site and signed up (not to buy) and looked at the add payment section and the options, and the field for 'Friendly name?' wasn't there between 'name on card' and 'card type'.. if it didn't have an * next to it, then i don't think you need to enter it :) if it does, I think it just means the name you want to call them by.

I am wondering if they mean like a Nickname.

Some people do not use their birthgiven names.  They go by another name.

And a lot of people might not know their real name.  So if for billing inquiries they need to call your place of employment, they might be looking for someone such as Andrea Jo, but she goes by AJ.  Or even Andy.  I have heard some names to be very different.

I know when I worked in a bank, we used to have other names listed so that you were authorized to sign in that name as well.  Or to have it listed on your card.

The only other name that I know of credit card companies to ask is mothers maiden name.  But I don't think this is the case, this time.

I agree with Skittles, it could be a nickname, but I don't see how they would know where you work for inquiries :)

I don't know how they know.  I just know I have had creditors call me at work before.  I think they get the info when they pull up your credit rating.  Not sure, that was just a theory of a reason for wanting your nickname.
