When I enter a new contact I want to enter as much information as I have -
title, formal first name, middle name, nickname... but I don't necessarily
want that to be the default display name. If my contact's name is Mr. Robert
James Smith III, I don't necessarily want that to be the default name that
pops up for his email address - I want it to default to Nickname LastName if
available, or FirstName LastName if a nickname is not available. Same when I
am linking contacts or selecting email recipients - I want to see this
abbreviated name, not the full formal name. Is there any way I can set this
as default?

You failed to disclose where it is you want to see your special version of
the name and in what version of Outlook.
