sendtoaddress is using the "" account by default. Is it possible to make it use any other account name?
Can sendtoaddress use account other than ""?

Accounts are deprecated and labels are the alternative for accounts.
I'd recommend using latest Bitcoin 0.17.0 which has multi wallet features which can isolate each user, further read:

sendtoaddress Doesn't support accounts at all
Parameter #1—to address
Parameter #2—amount to spend
Parameter #3—a comment
Parameter #4—a comment about who the payment was sent to
Result—a TXID of the sent transaction
What you can do as alternative is getaccountaddress to get bitcoin address of an account and then sendtoaddress
actually i want to pick the source account..not the destination. By default sendtoaddress picks the "" account as source. Is it possible to pick any other account? – lambogambo – 2018-02-09T05:10:25.407
Yes, put account name instead of "", like that "myaccount" – Adam – 2018-02-09T13:33:39.157

First do move command to move bitcoins from custom account to "", for example
bitcoin-cli move "account_with_bitcoins" "" amount_to_send
And then use sendtoaddress
bitcoin-cli sendtoaddress "address" amount_to_send

sendfrom, but the whole account feature is deprecated so you should redesign your application to not use it at all. – Nate Eldredge – 2018-02-08T19:29:41.490
