Help Auto filling contacts while texting

Recently while texting, the keyboard is suggesting random facebook contacts instead of the regular words. I can't figure out how to turn this off.

I haven't updated anything recently and it's really annoying.

Running 2.1 on X10a

Check your dictionary.

Setting->Language and Keyboard->User Dictionary.....is anything in there? If it isn't blank...then you have your own dictionary.

Do you use any different messaging apps? Or just the standard Messaging app?

It's blank.

It happens in regular SMS and google talk.
Almost likes it's using my facebook contacts as word suggestions and they ALWAYS get priority.

What keyboard are you using? Are you just using the default Android Keyboard? Or the HTC Keyboard or some other keyboard? Some of those have their own dictionaries too.

Have you checked all the options in Languages and Keyboards? Under Default Input->Quick Text Settings.

I have two options...one for Default Keyboard and one for Android keyboard.

I have the HTC_IME mod and swype activated. I went back to default and it's still suggesting the contacts. I've turned off the predicted text options and still nothing.

Turn HTC_IME back on and try to mess with it's settings maybe?

Maybe turn Swiftkey back on and chose to use the user defined dictionary (which is blank) it does have it's own dictionary.
