contact names change on their own to other contact numbers

I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 that all of a sudden, the names in my contacts changed on their own to other contact numbers. Example: When Suzie calls me, the phone displays Paul's name but Suzie's telephone number.  Likewise in "recents" the phone shows Paul incoming call but he did not call me. Susie is the one who really called. Has anyone else experienced this before? Do I need to scrap the phone? Need help.

We know how important it is to ensure your contacts are displayed correctly on your phone. When did you start experiencing difficulties with the names changing in your contact list? Were there any recent changes made to the phone when this started?
