Note: I use Android and backup nothing to the Cloud/Google. iThing knowledge is pretty much zero and I bluff my way through customer problems if I can.
My Daughter's iPhone started showing some of her Contacts as unknown, 'maybe Lucy' or as normal. By this I mean the phone numbers were there but not the names for a majority of contacts. All on the phone and no iTunes backup.
While driving her back from work I ask if she has iCloud on, she said 'No, but I did login to Outlook when prompted." She uses Outlook.com and not the App for her email and it turns out she uses the same email/password for Outlook.com and AppleId. Stupid I know.
So it turns out she does have iCloud enabled but not Contact Sync. She logs out of iCloud and when she gets back home finds she has no Contacts. Login to iCloud and enable Contact Sync does nothing. login to www.icloud.com shows no Contacts at all. Also she can't create Contacts on the phone for some of the numbers she has in her Messages.
Anyone have any idea on what might fix this besides petrol and a match and a move back to Android?

That's nowhere near good enough. You need an exorcist, a pyromaniac, a farmer with a plow, and a few tons of salt.
- Place the iPhone on the kitchen table, and have everybody leave the house
- Have the exorcist drive out any demons in the house
- Have the pyromaniac burn down the house, ensuring that nothing remains but ashes blowing on the wind
- Have the farmer sow the grounds with salt, and then plow it under
You may then be free of the iCurse.  
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

This is also the only known way to remove all Australian spiders from a house.

Fake news. This does not work.

It will work if you have fake spiders.

Oh come on, a hammer and a stake or a silver bullet will do just fine.
Spiders are a whole different question though.

iPhone has probably one of the better hardware devices out there.
iPhone has probably one of the worst software out there.
iOS will try to sync your contacts with your email accounts and will just do anything without notifying you in the worst way. I found the easiest and most beneficial way to fix this (for me) was to actually take time to clean up my email contacts. Then best to remove the account from iOS and re-add it again to make sure.
clean up means, last name, first name, email and phone number at the least.
Since then I have had little issues. (iOS is capable of switching things on and off just for fun, so even if you would not allow syncing contacts, sooner or later, somehow, it will)
(iTunes will do a similar thing so watch it)
Hope this helps.

Does the outlook app use the Apple contacts list ?
Have you looked at her outlook contact list ( log in on the web outlook ?)
I'd rather be phishing!

The iOS Contacts app creates a "Group" for each e-mail account. These groups can be turned on/off within the app. There is even a "Hide All Contacts" button to turn all the groups off. I'd start there.
Also, within the main "Settings" app there is a category for "Contacts" that allows you to set the default account for when a contact is created on the phone. This can be overwritten during creation by turning off all the groups except the one where you want the contact to be created.

Congratulations!
I finished my first novel last week - it took me ten years, but I might start reading another next week.

I have started a new character. Sword and sorcery. Literally. And an elf, on top of that. Went hunting yesterday and brought back trophies from a few deer, bears and wolves, plus a few Talmor.

Oh yes, the Thalmor - my favourite quarry. Now I wonder if there is a mod that adds Thalmor heads as head trophies to decor the player's home...
