When a member registers for an event they are prompted for their name and email. If they enter a different name than the name assigned to their member/contact info, then the event registration displays the different name that was entered. This seems proper, but when we perform an API request for the event registration info (via /eventregistrations/erid#) it properly returns both of the "RegistrationFields"->name and email, and the "Contact"->ID,
BUT, the "Contact"->Name is returned is the same modified name as "RegistrationFields"->name

Should this not be returning the Contact's saved name, not the event registration name?

We have browsed the entire dataset returned from eventregistrations api call and there are 3 "name" related data values returned:
"Contact"->Name
"DisplayName"
"RegistrationFields"->FirstName, ->LastName

All 3 of these name fields are returning the name entered for the event, none of them are the Contact's name.
