The RFC for email addresses defines both that you can use kit@example.com as well as Kit <kitsunde@gmail.com> but it doesn’t appear to be calling them by any special name and so I simply went with “named”. Is there a proper name for them?

class Email():
    name = "Kit"
    email = "kitsunde@gmail.com"
    named = "Kit <kitsunde@gmail.com>"

    It seems RFC just calls it mailbox.

    Normally, a mailbox is comprised of two parts: (1) an optional
    display name that indicates the name of the recipient (which could
    be a person or a system) that could be displayed to the user of a
    mail application, and (2) an addr-spec address enclosed in angle
    brackets (“<” and “>”).
