 * Can you please make one new shortcode attribute and put behind all this mess 
   all plugins for saving messages in database make ? (even your own Flamingo plugin)
 * Something like **database-name=”E-Mail”**.
 * As it is now those plugins do like this and it should be fixed somehow.
 * First column / Second column
    your-name John Smith (or text-367) John Smith
 * It there was a new attribute it would be fixed:
    [text* your-name **database-
   name=”Name”**] [text* text-3056 **database-name=”Phone”**]
 * Only way is with new shortcode attribute those plugins can pick up.
