There are 3 fields, namely: "name", "displayName" and "cn".

I can see, that IPA was changing the "cn" and "name" fields.
If you start dsa.msc right click on a user, Attribute Editor tab, click 
Filter, tick show only writable attributes.
"name" is not a writable attribute.

However you are partly right, because it's possible to change it by 
renaming the user.
Right click on the user, select rename.

According to M$, the name attribute is actually the RDN
