How to add name in email headers using aws ses

Question

Below is my code to send email using aws ses using nodejs.

ses.sendEmail( { 
           Source: sails.config.myconf.aws.emailFrom, 
           Destination: { ToAddresses: [useObj.email]},
           Message: {
               Subject:{
                  Data: subject
               },
               Body: {
                   Html: {
                       Data: template,
                   }
                }
           }
        });

It will work see attached image below but it show contact as name. Instead of this i want to add client name there.

i already checked this link and tried accepted answer but it wont work. — rash111, Aug 29 '16 at 06:12
You need to explain specifically what "it won't work" means. The solution in the referenced answer is correct -- you set the sending address to a string like `"Sender Name"
`. If that doesn't work, then please explain in what way it fails. — Michael - sqlbot, Aug 29 '16 at 11:30

You can set name is source (Source: "App Name!! app_email@example.com"). Example below

{
    Destination: {
        ToAddresses: ["example@example.com"]
    },
    Message: {
        Body: {
            Html: {
                Data: "YOUR MESSAGE"
            }
        },
        Subject: {
            Data: "YOUR SUBJECT"
        }
    },
    Source: "App Name!! <from_email@example.com>"
}

Also tell , how it is different from what I proposed. logically I proposed the same thing. missing quote here and there does not make it a different answer. Instead of posting new answer you should have just corrected my answer. – enRaiser Sep 03 '16 at 05:19
