Skype name always appears in People & Messaging Hub

Hi guys!

I can't find a way to ged rid of Skype names in my Messaging and People Hub on my Lumia 625. This always occurs after I installed Skype app and kept my account logged on.

Here's an example:
I have my sister on both my Skype and Outlook (People Hub), same phone number, and filter preferences set only to Outlook. But when I try to send a text message or take a look on the phone calls list, her Skype name always appears. I checked to see if Skype is linked to Outlook profile, but it isn't. Also, when I tap on the Skype name, it directs me to the Skype contact, probably the one I filtered before in settings. I tried to link and unlink the Skype entry from the Outlook(People) one, but it looks like it's never saving. Below are some screenshots to see the problem more clearly:

I hope to solve this bug or whatever is because is so annoying, otherwise, I'll uninstall Skype and wait for the goodies on Windows 10 :smile:

Re: Skype name always appears in People & Messaging Hub

Try this link both the accounts i.e., outlook and Skype and after open the contact and click edit and the change the name to the one you desire to.The changes will be saved in Outlook profile......so it will show the way u want to.
