    Section 2.1.2.4 describes NAME attribute.

    The ‘name’ attribute … determined by the user (not the contact).
    Although the value of the ‘name’ attribute MAY have meaning to a human
    user, it is opaque to the server. It is OPTIONAL for a client to
    include the ‘name’ attribute when adding or updating a roster item.

    That basically means the connection itself does not have NAME.

    And if you added yourself in your own roster – then it is no different that getting NAME for any other contact.

    Section 2.1.5 shows the needed stanza to change some attribute – in your case that would be NAME attribute.

    If you have any quesito nwith XMPP – most easy would be to take some long-existing lcient like JAJC or Vacuum-IM, open XML Log Console, do your action and read which stanzes been really exchanged.
