Rename contacts in Gtalk

It has been my problem for last few years, that whenever I use to login to my Gtalk chat account, I use to see many of names written in stylized fonts, which sometimes makes the name meaning less. So, I recently discovered a way out to this problem, and wanted to share it with you.

If you are also having similar problem, then just login to your Gtalk chat client or GMail chat client…




Gtalk chat client

Just login to your Gtalk chat client, and then right click on the contact you want to rename, and then click “Rename”. There you enter correct name, and now it will appear like what you’ve entered, whenever you’ll log in again.

    But when you do rename a contact, does the person who I have renamed know about it?

    No, the other person would not get any clue, that you have renamed his/her name.
