Why the Rest API assigning default name to user when create?

Hi, I'm trying to create an automated process that syncs the organization and users from our legacy software to JIRA and when I send a payload with information Jira is creating the account with the specified email but it uses a default name...
Can anyone help me out identifying what I'm doing wrong?
This is the payload structure I send on the POST request:
payload = json.dumps({ "emailAddress": mail, "displayName": name, "name": name })
