Nokia N73 SMS Name Display

Hokay,

Got an N73 as a work phone and have spent most of yesterday evening getting
it personalised for me. The phonebook had one annoying option where it, by
default, listed the names Surname, Firstname. Sorted that. What seems to
have happened, though, is the messaging feature hasn't listened!

If I send a message to Joe Bloggs, it appears as Joe Bloggs in both the
compose, outbox and sent items. If, however, I receive a message from Joe
Bloggs it says it's from Bloggs Joe!! How incredibly irritating.

Does anyone know how to sort this? I'm a man therefore RTFM does not apply.
I've checked all the menus and can't seem to find a way to change it :(

This happened with my N70 also, it is common with most if not all
Nokia Phones. I found a third party application called Name Swap that
solved this issue. The N70 is S60v2 and the N73 is S60v3, so
unfortunately what I have won't work on your phone but there may be an
S60v3 version available if you are lucky
