    $name = '';
    foreach ( (array) $fields as $field ) {
        if ( isset( $field['type'] ) && 'name' === $field['type'] && ! empty( $field['value'] ) ) {
            $name = (string) $field['value'];
            break;
        }
    }

    $title = isset( $form_data['settings']['form_title'] ) ? $form_data['settings']['form_title'] : '';
    $email['subject'] = trim( sprintf( $wpide_wpf_subject_format, $title, $name ) ) . ' ' . $email['subject'];

    return $email;
}, 10, 4 );

## Notes

Uses the first Name field of the form; change the format at the top.
