Regex for Email Address along with name format

Question

For email address I am using regex as

var emailRegex = /^([\w-.]+@([\w-]+.)+[\w-]{2,4})?$/

What is regex for

LastName FirstName <lastName.firstName@gmail.com>

Same as [Lname FName](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26299372/regex-expression-for-email-address) which in also seems to be duplicate [Regex for email](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/201323/using-a-regular-expression-to-validate-an-email-address) — Shubh, Oct 14 '14 at 10:12
Check out the regexp used to validate email addresses according to the RFC 822 grammar: [Don't actually use this](http://code.iamcal.com/php/rfc822/full_regexp.txt) — Kieran Bristow, Oct 14 '14 at 10:15

Use backrefs:

/^([\w-.]+) ([\w-.]+) (\1\.\2@([\w-]+.)+[\w-]{2,4})?$/
