Ive got an email contact with the email address [email protected] , but for some reason in the "display name" for their email address in OSX mac mail, it shows up as "Studio - Example".

Here is what happens when i input the email address :

If i right click the "display name, i can "edit address"

Which will open the text edit options in the screenshot below, which works for this time, but next time i enter the email address again, i get the same issue.

Any ideas ?

    Have you added it to contacts and changed the display name there?

It looks like this is the display name associated with that email address, as set by the email owner. You have no control over this unless/until you add it as a contact and override the display name. This is why when you get an email from a brand new address you typically see a display name instead of the raw email address.
