Default Contact Display Names

I was wounder if this can be done with Outlook. When I enter my contacts in
the contacts lists, will this change the name shown when email comes in, and
can this even be change.

Example: an email comes in as (with display name Test1), I
would like to have the contacts name shown as MyTest. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.

typically incoming mail uses the display name the sender has configured in
their mail client.
