It would be great if there was an option to have a different from name for each username. I haven't found this on the roadmap or anywhere else yet.

Right now, if I set my from name to Username and I send a mail from either abc@PublicUsername.AnonAddy.com or abc@PrivateUsername.AnonAddy.com, the recipient would see the mail coming from Username.

I think it would be quite useful to have the option to set them individually, so that mails coming from abc@PublicUsername.AnonAddy.com would show as PublicUsername, and mails coming from abc@PrivateUsername.AnonAddy.com would show as PrivateUsername.

Reasoning: I don't need websites and companies knowing my full name when communicating via mail, but it would might make sense for friends, family or the workplace to be able to immediately see who they're communicating with.

Currently I've just set initials as a temporary measure but a better solution would be preferable.
