I have contacts where the name is very long. So I like to abbreviate the name in Pidgin so it just shows a first name on occasion or a nickname. But when I assign an alias in Pidgin it actually steps on the first and last names in my Google Contacts. I don't feel Pidgin should be updating my contacts in the Google cloud.
