sync - How can I specify a default contact for merged contacts?

I have some contacts on my phone that appear in all or some of:

• my phone


• my google contacts


• skype


• facebook

Thankfully, Android allows me to link that contacts, so that I have only one entry in my phonebook with access to all the different sources. However, the names aren't always identical. For instance:

• in some cases the name is in English, in others in Hebrew


• some have the full name, others only the first name

Is there any way to select which of these is the default display name?

Answer

Edit the contact you want to be the default. Then press the menu button and join the additional contacts. This will keep the display name as the original contact you were editing.
