In Gmail, my email address is replaced by "me" in emails and chats, etc.
Is there a way to replace this "me" by anything else, such as the actual name of the person?

While Lipis' answer still works, there's another method as well.
With the message open, hover your mouse pointer over the sender's name. An info card will pop up. If the address is not already in your contacts, you can click the "Add to Contacts" button to open a contact edit form with the name and email address already filled out.
(The Add and invite button is for adding the person to your Google+ Circles.)
Go to Setting at the top of the Gmail screen then click Accounts and Imports.
The second set of options/settings is Send mail as: where you should see the accounts you have linked and are available. Click the link make default next to the other email address you want to use (your Gmail account should currently show default where the link would normally be).

Gmail will always show "me" for your Gmail address.
If you are using "send mail as" addresses, untick "Treat as alias" and we should stop showing "me" for those addresses; this is the preferred option for addresses that you send mail as but do not reflect your personal identity, such as mailing lists.
If you are seeing a problem with senders who have me@domain.com as their email address, you can correct that issue by updating their information in your Gmail Contacts.
