Just checked my Skype - had to turn on and sign in as I tend to predominantly use other call systems now.
Sent you a message on Skype, but will try and call and assist but don't know what has happened to your system. At a guess the software asks for access to your contacts and you will have to give that consent before they appear.
On the Skype home page there will be a picture representing you (on iphone it is in middle at the top of the page). Tap to enter. At bottom on the next page is "Settings", tap that ans then on next page is "Contacts". Go to that and there is a "Sync your contacts" slide. Put that on and see what happens!
The reference to "live" is a microsoft thing. Thinking back, about a year or so ago when I tried to sign into skype it required me to sign up for a "microsoft live" account whereas before that I had just signed in with a user name. You are still appearing with the same user name.
