      I just migrated my email from GSuite to O365 and I'm slowly learning the pitfalls of O365 that you took for granted on GSuite

       

      The only problem with these various solution is that you can really only have 1 alias to send from, as you can't use the same display name.

       

      I've got varying versions of my surname e.g. james@surname.xy, james@surname.net.xyz, james@surname.co.xyz.

       

      In this scenario I'd create two distribution groups, or shared mailboxes, but they can't have the same display name.. so I'd have to create James L 1 and James L 2 (as an example) but then the from address ends up being James L 1 (james@surname.xy) which is stupid..

        Not sure to understand your problem...

        In your scenario, you should have added several domains to the tenant (i.e. "surname.xy", "surname.net.xyz", etc.). Hence you could indeed create separate DLs and/or SMs such as "james@surname.xy", "james@surname.net.xyz", etc., which do appear as senders.
