    You can change it on "Reply-To and Recipient Settings" when you open the Email Notification.

    Did you open the message if it really shows "me" on the sender name section? Perhaps it was the layout of your email on how they appear on the inbox list. Since you pick the "Your Name" field, it should show there whatever the name entered on the "Your Name" field. I would also suggest to check if the sender email address isn't on your contact list, sometimes this would override the sender name if the sender email is on your contact list.

    I do not follow your train of thought with that. The received email
    suggests it has been sent from my own email address ?

    The following links should explain why you are receiving the email as "me" in Gmail:

    As for the sender email, you are using your own email address as the sender email of the form. If you wish to change it, simply choose our default from the dropdown:
