You're doing this:

- (void)setName:(NSString *)name
{
    [self willChangeValueForKey:@"name"];
    [contact setFirstName:name];
    [self didChangeValueForKey:@"name"];
}

But (by the sounds of it) from a non-NSManagedObject subclass. This means that Cocoa will be attempting to send KVO notifications automatically for you. You're supplementing that by sending your own too. Solutions:

• Override +automaticallyNotifiesObserversForKey: to return NO

• Change your method to:

  - (void)setName:(NSString *)name { [contact setFirstName:name]; }
