What is "Yomi name"?

According to this wiki page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yomi, Yomi also means Land of Death, or Under World, which is not pleasant for naming a person in your contact.

I agree with Company 2 or Entity or Entrepreneur or Employee.  Yomi?  Do they utilize healthcare staffing agencies in the US?  Possibly, so on the other hand I opt in for a yomi name and yomi company. 

First time I didn't see spanish equivalent.  A nice change and every has some credibility or usefulness to someone.  so I definitely agree with Yomi Company if it will generate exposure to another country that would utilize my firm's services.  I will see and play with it if it frustrates one it may be indicative "being too busy" and not "present".

You are correct, the culture settings should not remove anything. I person in the US may know someone from any culture. Adding the ability to choose what is displayed would be a difficult task. Not so difficult but it would add a few issues.

I would use the feedback button in settings, or if you have windows 10 use the feedback app from the store. I would request a feature to add a limited details, speed screen and full screen. The speed screen you could choose which items to display.

Thank you EdwardStewart for making your point. I love your attitude of using Yomi for purposes other than originally intended, it's a really good idea! Shamelessly stealing your brainwave.

As an aside, with regards to other rather negative comments. I have never been as angered as some of the other community members by the presence of Yomi, it seems a little extreme in my eyes. I don't like seeing billboards all over town, but I don't stop and scream at them. So there's a feature you don't use, but maybe other people do, maybe they don't either. Everyone is empowered to provide feedback as end-users, but feedback with an excessive dose of negativity and intolerance just overshadows the alternative uses of certain applications.

Returning to the point of this thread, Yomi certainly caught my attention as something that I didn't know, so thank you to everyone for clearing that up. I think it is better now that it has been moved to the bottom of the list, but have no issues seeing it, whether I use it or not. With regards to other forms of names, such as those in Icelandic or Dutch culture, I think there should be more options for the end-user to include these in their Contacts layout.

Furthermore, I disagree with those who argue that language and regional specifications should see removal of Yomi. Whilst I do believe one should be able to remove it from the default list if desired, given the international nature of communications and cultural interconnectedness, language and regional specifications are no guarantee of end-user preferences. For example, whilst based in the UK, I also have many non-English, not necessarily Japanese, contacts and would find Yomi beneficial. Although products should be designed for the end-user, end-users have to be open-minded and also willing to put a little effort into personalising products and services designed for mass distribution. Of course, this should not be made difficult or unnecessarily time-consuming for the end-user, by the producer.

Rant over. In summary: Yomi is not useful for everyone, but has benefits beyond its prescription. Microsoft is not perfect. There should be greater flexibility for end-users to personalise their settings. Maybe that way, there'll be less griping.
