Identifying the candidate name including at least one of: parsing a recipient-specific portion of a recipient message address of the message; parsing a display name associated with the recipient message address; parsing a content of the message body; parsing an attachment name associated with an attachment field of the message; identifying the candidate name from a contact record selected from a contacts database based on a recipient-specific portion of a recipient message address of the message; and parsing user-readable content of an application from which composition of the message was triggered. The method further includes facilitating composition of a recipient name in the body of the message based on the candidate name.
