Hi @kennylim 

To insert the Name (Display Name), you need to select the correct return type.
Just click the “orange icon” and select the correct return type - Display Name.

 

 

Hope that helps

Hi Garrett, 

Thanks for the quick response. May i know where can i find this advanced lookup? is this available on the 365 sharepoint? 

I happened to come across this on the forum and it address my requirement also

You set the label to - Nintex for Office 365.
Its available in the Send Email action (including To field and Email Body Message)

 

I have a strong feeling that you are using the Nintex for SharePoint platform (which I am unfamiliar with).

This is indeed Nintex for Sharepoint. Try this button, you should be able to select Display name under there:
