It has been my problem for last few years, that whenever I use to login to my Gtalk chat account, I use to see many of names written in stylized fonts, which sometimes makes the name meaning less. So, I recently discovered a way out to this problem, and wanted to share it with you.
If you are also having similar problem, then just login to your Gtalk chat client or GMail chat client…
Just login to your Gtalk chat client, and then right click on the contact you want to rename, and then click “Rename”. There you enter correct name, and now it will appear like what you’ve entered, whenever you’ll log in again. Also Read GTalk Shortcuts To rename contact in GMail based chat client, just hover your mouse over contact you want to rename, and then, click on name, which will select current name.

Looks quite a great post, it's having good information for research analysis. great job.
That was really simple. I too wanted to rename the contacts, but i never took it seriously. When i reas this post, i immediately renamed my contacts as per my convinience.
Thanks buddy. Great post.
But when you do rename a contact, does the person who I have renamed know about it?
No, the other person would not get any clue, that you have renamed his/her name.
