Also, you are entitled to TWO listings for each phone number - so you can list both husband and wife separately, for instance, but some people use "cute"/"trick" entries for their second listing (those few people who know they can get one, anyway... it's not exactly a heavily-advertised feature). Actually, I suspect the telco might balk at any listing name that might appear to be an attempt to defraud - listing yourself as "Southwestern Bell Telephone", for instance.
