When you were registering you had to enter your "name" which is the thing people call you in your day to day life. You entered "johnfp". You also had to choose a "skype" name which is a unique identifier within the skype system. You chose "holograms3djohnfp" which you can see in the screenshot I sent you yesterday.



It's important for everyone to give out their skype name, not their full name from their profile. There are at least three people subscribed to skype with "johnfp" as their full name but only one with holograms3djohnfp as their skype name. You.



Of course, it doesn't help that the contact search in skype is flaky and sometimes doesn't return a hit even when one puts in correct information.
