I recently noticed that my Google contacts started showing pictures and full names of some contacts, presumably because they were using Google Voice. I added myself as a contact, merely as 'X' with my G-Voice number to a second G-account. As expected, my full name and Google+ profile image came up in that second account's address book. I presume this can be avoided by some deep setting in G+, or may have something to do with Hangouts. Does anyone know how?
Disable help friends find you by phone number and you should be all set.

Thanks! Would you have any idea how long it takes for this to be effective? That is, if in someone else's G-Contacts, if my full name has been listed before this was unchecked, will G-Contacts remove my name at some point? – user3645994 Mar 8 '15 at 20:46

I think that unless someone has manually entered your phone number in their contacts list your name should stop showing up. I don't know how long it would take though. – abraham Mar 8 '15 at 21:42
