Remarks

Windows calculates the DisplayName property by using the values from the FirstName, MiddleName, and LastName properties if any are specified. If these values aren't available, Windows uses the Yomi (phonetic Japanese equivalent) name values (@"Windows.ApplicationModel.Contacts.Contact.YomiGivenName?text=YomiGivenName" and YomiFamilyName ). The calculation for DisplayName takes into account different locale hints such as script of the text in the names, resource context, and default user locale to determine the proper formatting template for the name.
