Bug Description
When importing contacts from a Google account, via syncevolution or the new user account sync option, Ubuntu Touch puts the phone number in the first name field if the contact doesn't have any first or last name entry in Google. This happens to a lot of my contacts that I only entered as companies, i.e. only filled in the company field.

I think the problem is we need a name when we create a new contact. If you try to add a new contact from within the app the save button is disabled until you add a first or last name.
In this case, if Company name is specified we should use that for the name instead of the phone number. If phone number is only thing specified for the contact then I guess it's ok to use that for the name if we must have a name.
