If you have a normal social life it's honestly expected that a couple of people will leak your phone number (and contact name). Nothing you can really do about it. Happened to me many times.
I suppose I'm lucky I'm not a social person
Leaking it because someone they know personally asks? Sure. But the software side via social networks and other apps can absolutely be nailed down a lot more than it is.
