Help Can't enter new contacts - links to existing

So John called me and I went to save his number as a new contact. A pop-up box asks if I want to link the number to an existing or new contact, I select new. I get the edit screen where I can enter John's info and hit save.

For some reason, John's new phone number is linked with Johnny, an existing contact, instead of a new separate contact being made. I tried it two more times but I John's cell number keeps getting added to Johnny's info.

Interestingly, the Johnny contact has all sorts of other Johns among my contacts into one jumbled up contact, a mish-mash of all the Johns I know and stored in my phone.

Anyone have this problem? Anyone know how to fix it?
