Have noticed an odd issue coming up with the Reminders app on both iOS and WatchOS. My wife and I share a few reminders lists, which she is the "owner" of. In her phone, her own contact card is her full name and in my phone, her name is shortened. I have started noticing that anytime she adds something to these lists, I get double notifications for this reminder. One of them is associated to her full name as it is in her phone and then the same exact notification but with how she is listed in my phone.

For reference, her email address associated to her iCloud account is linked to her contact card in my phone. I would expect that the only notification I receive is the one that is associated to her contact card in my phone.

Anyone else experiencing this? Is this a known bug or is there a fix that I am missing?
 
Just an update; still an issue but what I finding the notification names only happens on my Apple Watch; however, the phone only shows the reminder from my wife’s contact name as now it is in her phone.
