Yes, it's called the $reverse_name variable. Look it up in the manual.
Alternatively, you can change your From header using send-hooks and set
up "my_hdr From: ..." (or, if you're using the dev version, you can do
"set from=..." in the hook). This changing only works based on the
*destination* address though. You should note that $reverse_name and
the 'send-hook ... "my_hdr From: ..."' approach don't work well
together, so if you're not using the developement version, you should
pick one method or another.

That would work too; Mutt supports nicely multiple incoming mail
folders. You could have per-folder settings for each of these with a
folder-hook, if you'd like.
So you have 3 options to choose from, $reverse_name is probably the
closest to what you had in mind.
