A text I just sent to my mother (presented with no context):

It's sometimes tricky that my wife and mother have very similar looking names and are alphabetically right next to eachother in my contacts. It's astonishing that that hasn't led to more embarrassing mistakes.

You really need to add "probably" to one or the other.. as in "probably mother"

@juliadream In practice, it ends up not being a big deal. I typically message my wife over a private Nextcloud instance that my mother is not on. A message for my mother accidentally going to my wife wouldn't be as big a deal.
