If you use a reasonably intellegent user agent for mail, you can get
any personal name you want. I'm using MH, and it has no trouble with
this.
If you're using the stock Ultrix /usr/ucb/Mail, then I'm afraid you're
stuck with whatever you have in the GECOS field of /etc/passwd (which,
as has been pointed out, can be changed with 'chfn').
There's no way to make sendmail vary what it uses for $x unless you
have the source and are willing to hack on it (which I would not
recommend).
