Describe the bug
Self hosting using provided docker image.
In the list of contacts, or in an individual contact view the names themselves don't appear

Unsure how to check logs.

Yep this is a nasty bug that will be fixed this week. The pull request is already made.

[shaananc]

What pull request number is it?

[djaiss]

Exactly here https://github.com/monicahq/monica/pull/1491/files#diff-fdfcde0ece1a5848c705846866e898fbR16

[shaananc]

Doesn't seem to have fixed it on my install.

[djaiss]

Can you check in your database in the Users table, and check the content of name_order for your user, and report it here?

[djaiss]

For sure the bug is linked to this field having an invalid value.

[shaananc]

```
+-----------------+
| name_order |
+-----------------+
| firstname_first |
+-----------------+

[shaananc]

Manually updating the value to firstname_lastname_nickname worked but the migration didn't automatically fix my existing user.

I'm not planning on digging into the codebase to fix it myself but hopefully this helps!

Setting (German) Namensortierrichtung (name sort order) on /settings to First-Last (Nick) fixed this for me

[qbatten]

This bug was appearing for my install as well. As @oschettler said, going to the Settings page and changing the Name Order setting to First Name - Last Name - Nickname fixes it!

@djaiss shouldn't it be easier to fix this outside the #1491 PR ?

Note: I've hit the same problem after installing v2.3.1. Upgrade to v2.4.2 did not help.
Clean re-install of v2.4.2 does not have the problem.
