<p>That's funny - Network Depo is one of the contacts I was complaining about! And in my contacts I do have them down as Network Calendar. I created all my contacts using the name of the agency plus "Calendar." But that's still not displaying when they send me emails. </p>

<p>I opened my Google contacts, searched for the agency who I wanted to change. Click to open the contact, then click the pencil to edit. </p>
<p>Attached is a screenshot of the line item I edited, which I believe is called the Display Name. This does work on my system because I did a test. I edited my BF's contact display name and had him send me an email. His display name was changed. Hopefully this helps.</p>

<p>Not sure how you did that, because although I Googled it and there is a way to change your own display name, it doesn't seem that there is a way to change the sender's display name that shows when they email me. </p>
<p>I do have all the agencies in my Gmail contacts with listings such as "Jones Calendar," with an email address of "scheduling@jones.com," and when I send them an e-mail, the display name says "Jones Calendar," but yet when they send me an email, the sender displays as…</p>

<p>I went to the Gmail help forum, and everybody there says you can't do it.</p>
<p>I did find this question and answer from Quora. I'll try it if I can figure out exactly what he's suggesting!</p>

<p>Same here! </p>
<p>You can edit the address book for your e-mail account to say whatever you want it to show. I just add the agency name to the "Calendar" or "Schedule" part and then I can see who it's from instantly.</p>
<p>If it's Gmail, just open your contacts, select the offender, and then change what's called the Display name.</p>
