Can customized contact fields be used as default layout?

So I've added some custom fields to a contact and would like to have this configuration appear for all new contacts but there does not seem to be a way to do this.  I'm guessing this is going to fall under the "this isn't possible but feel free to submit a feature request" category which seems to be the case will all related topics I've been reading such as renaming the custom fields to something more meaningful than 'Custom 1, Custom 2" etc.

Of course, I'd be happy to be wrong with my assumption and would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks--
