This is a simple UIDevice category that will potentially enable you able to guess the first and last name of a user from the iPhone's device name.

This is absolutely not a fool-proof solution, use it with caution.

Get started

Just drag the UIDevice+NameFromDevice.h/m files and include it where you need it.

This category provides the following methods that work with current devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod):

-(NSString *)fullNameFromDevice;
-(NSString *)firstName;
-(NSString *)lastName;

Localizations

This category works with known patterns. For now it handles basic English, French, and Italian default naming such as:

• "John Doe's iPhone"
• "iPhone of John Doe"
• "iPhone de John Doe"
• "iPhone di John Doe"

If you know other patterns from other languages, please contribute.

If you contribute, please add a basic test case in the test target to make sure your pattern is working. (tests for the actuals patterns on the way, I'm still working on it)
