Kenneth, Thanks for trying to help. Renaming isn't really an option and using bcc would look weird to the recipients, I want some personal touch so to speak. Luckily, I finally found workaround by myself, google wasn't helpful at all. If you double click 'a box' gmail puts your contact in in the To: field, it gets transformed to text: 'Name from contacts <[email protected]>', now you can change whatever comes before <...> and that's what gets sent as a contact name.
Andrius N.B. I work with cold contacts ie people I randomly meet and hence why I need to name them in a way I could recall who they are in case they call me. And google is very unfriendly about that, for example you cannot even find out the date you created a contact, nor there's a way to see contact's notes at the time you receive a call on android phone.
