OPSEC. I have history disabled on my phone. If anyone were to somehow access it, they would have more difficulty figuring out who is close to me.

What are you imagining here? Like someone steals your phone to find out who you are close to to then what kidnap them?
How can you live like this it sounds exhausting. Even if it’s the feds then they’ll contact the cell provider and get your call history.
They could just read your texts though

I have my wife's full name in too. I don't even know why, I don't have any other contacts with the same first name.
My wife is in my phone as her real name, but only because that puts her at the top of the list in my favorites (her name starts with 'A')

I just have her name followed by (AKA Wife) after. She saw it once years later and was like wtf is this!
that sounds worse 😂 like you would forget her name so you had to put a reminder
My SO is "Name!"
In my phone only the closest friends and relatives have first name privileges. Everyone else gets the "Plumber guy from x town, John" treatment.
