Hey, nostr developers, can anyone explain the difference between the "name", "displayName" and "display_name" fields in our nostr profiles metadata?

Why is there three different fields for what appears to be the same thing?

And why are some clients using one field while others use another? This shit leads to inconsistencies everywhere and newcomers will be completely puzzled, just as I am currently.

#noStrudel client uses "displayName"

#HablaNews client uses "name"

#Snort client uses "display_name"

Use this tool https://metadata.nostr.com/ and see for your self.

Basic shit like the fucking name of the profile shouldn't be so confusing and inconsistent.
