SharePoint default view ignores custom name DisplayName

Question

I created my own type of content that inherits from the contact (ie <ContentType ID = "0x010600 ..."), and I'm trying to rename the "Title" field using the following:

<FieldRefs> <FieldRef ID="{fa564e0f-0c70-4ab9-b863-0177e6ddd247}" Name="Title" DisplayName="Last Name" Sealed="TRUE" /> <FieldRef ID="{82642ec8-ef9b-478f-acf9-31f7d45fbc31}" Name="LinkTitle" DisplayName="Last Name" Sealed="TRUE"/> <FieldRef ID="{BC91A437-52E7-49E1-8C4E-4698904B2B6D}" Name="LinkTitleNoMenu" DisplayName="Last Name" Sealed="TRUE" /> </FieldRefs> 

It is correctly renamed on the edit, view, and add pages, but the default view and DataGrid view always indicate the name. I want it to be renamed everywhere. This is what I'm trying to do, and if so, how? Any help is appreciated.

In order for the field to be renamed, you must define your list using a ListTemplate and repeat the renaming of the fields here (as well as annoyingly repeating all the fields from your content type that is not standard)
