How to specify a non global from name when sending mail in laravel 7.x

I'm using laravel 7.x with mailgun running on my local environment and everything seems to be running fine. I want to be able to set the from "name" when sending individual emails.

In Laravel 7.x documentation on "Configuring The Sender" they explain how to send an email and specify a "from address", but do not show how to set a name.

return $this->from('[email protected]')
            ->view('emails.orders.shipped');

They also specify how to set a global from address with the name set

'from' => ['address' => '[email protected]', 'name' => 'App Name'],

I want to be able to send an email where I can set multiple names depending on which part of the application I'm sending from. (e.g. password reset would be different from a usage notification)

What does not work

The example below returns Swift_RfcComplianceException: Address in mailbox given [Test User <[email protected]>] does not comply with RFC 2822, 3.6.2

return $this->from('Test User <[email protected]>')
            ->view('emails.orders.shipped');

I also tried using the array syntax from the global method, but this didn't seem to have any impact on the name itself.

return $this->from([
    'address' => '[email protected]',
    'name' => 'Test User'
])
->view('emails.orders.shipped');

Is it possible to set the name using this method?

You should use this syntax:

$this->from('[email protected]','Example')->view('emails.orders.shipped');

I could not find the proper documentation for this, but similar syntax was used in laravel emails.
