Wrong Sender Name on Forwarded Emails

I use two email addresses for my work: compost@myworkdomain.org and adam@myworkdomain.org. When I forward an email from compost@ to adam@, the senders name shows the original sender, not compost@. For example:

>Phillip J. Fry sends an email to compost@myworkdomain.org and I forward it to adam@myworkdomain.org. In my adam@myworkdomain.org inbox, the sender's name shown is Phillip J. Fry, but the reply email address is compost@myworkdomain.org.

This causes me to frequently send the reply to compost@myworkdomain.org instead of the original sender. How can I get Gmail to show the sender as "Compost" instead of the name of the original sender?

Edit: I am using Chrome for Windows on a desktop computer.

See the attached images, both from my adam@ inbox.
