I don't understand the logic of your database design. Within your "phone_nos" relation (table), why set the persons name as the primary key when people can (and will) have the same first name. Using the ID column would have made more sense as a primary (auto incrementing) key because it will always be unique.

As for your "addresses" relation, why have the name of the type of phone number as the primary key, when you know you're going to have multiple values for each "home", "office", etc, phone number (for each of your users in the first database). Again, having the ID as the primary (auto incrementing) key would have made more sense.

With this design setup, you also cannot link the two relations together because there's no foreign key to do so (there's no field that is the same within both tables). You therefore could not query for a name in the "phone_nos" relation, and be able to gather data from the "addresses" relation with your current setup.
