its a duplicated name/number somewhere, ....
I think you just have to put up with it. Many people have complained about this and other shortcomings of S60. Unfortunately, instead of sorting them out, the S60 developers are FARTING AROUND WITH A TOUCH UI THAT NOBODY WANTS.

in the call settings theres a (send my caller id) option.settings>phone>call
if she as it off then her number nor her name will only show up i think
not all phones have the option to set this
i'm working on the presumption she as a nokia phone
make sure your settings are correct too
theres 3 options off ,on ,set by network off will hide all
If you copy all your contacts to your sim directory the problem should resolve itself - contacts > options > copy > to sim directory.
Hope it works!
Copying everything to your SIM isn't a good idea though - you'll find your names get truncated, and it can only stores phone number/name pairs, not the whole range of information that could be stored normally.
Also the SIM has a very limited amount of storage space, generally enough for about 300 contacts on newer cards, older ones will store less.

This happened when my mum got a new 6300 (Bless her, she loves it :redface😊. Whenever I called her just my number would appear. It turned out that she had my number on my own contact, and on another contact named "Emergency #4".
If you've done something like this, I advise removing the Emergency contacts and instead making an Emergency numbers contact group instead.
Hope this helps.

Wow, bitter AND uninformed 😊
It is most likely a duplicate, I also had this when I lived at home the landline number was listed under Home and also under Mum.
Check anywhere else you might have your girlfriends number

I've just had an idea.
If you can't find it elsewhere, try adding an extra digit to the end of the number under your intended contact for your girlfriend, and then have her call your phone. If the number is only in one other contact then the phone will show the name for that other contact.
You can then go to it and change/delete it at your convenience. 😊
Good thinking!
