Certain attributes are controlled by the daemon so they are not
exposed over D-Bus, this is not unique to BlueZ since I remember
saying that on iOS it also don't allow applications to access some
attributes directly.

Anyway the name is actually parsed and you can even see it on your
prompt and you can also give it an alias with set-alias command.
