two key string dictionary from array of objects

Question

I'm currently doing this to get an array of strings with users phone numbers :

 if let phoneNumbers = contacts.map({$0.phoneNumber}) as? [String] { }

Contact Object:

class Contact {

    var name: String!
    var phoneNumber: String!
}

How can instead of getting an array of string with the phone numbers get an array of strings with each of the contacts name and phone number? I want to include both values in the string array instead of just the phone number.

Thanks

Edit:

Current output is something like this ["3453534534", "34534535345"] where those are phone numbers.

The output that I hope to achieve is something like this ["john" : "12312312", "robert" : "32423423423"]

What exactly do you mean? Could you explain it better, and also give us some sample input and output? — Alexander

var dulce = [String: String]()
contacts.forEach {
    dulce[$0.name] = $0.phoneNumber
}

This did the job in the least amount of code possible!
