why do the letters "bay" in the full name field generate a title?

when I create a contact and enter the name (or letters) "bay" outlook
automatically populates the "title" field and not the "first name" or "last
name" field as with evrey other letter combination i have ever used or tried.
Does anybody know why? does anybody know if there is a fix other then
populating the "first name" or "last name" fields manually?
 
Who knows. :) but it happens with any set of words containing bay - "Mike
Bay" is a title now. I can make it a suffix by enclosing it in quotes....
which means one method of forcing words together doesn't work. Neither does
a period following it.

They programmed it to recognize words common to titles and they
automatically populate that field when entered - no idea why Bay would be a
title though... there are others that do this (many more than are on the
short predefined list), but the ones I knew about were obviously titles.
