Hello,

I would bet that name shows up in
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/mdm" under the value
"DisplayName"...

Possible. But that knowledge won't help you anyway.
Consider the following snippet:

--- snip example ---
int main(..)
{
..
    SERVICE_TABLE_ENTRY serviceTable[] =
    {
        { "my service", (LPSERVICE_MAIN_FUNCTION) ServiceMain},
        { NULL, NULL}
    };

    ..
    StartServiceCtrlDispatcher(serviceTable);
..
}

int install_service( ..)
{
    ..
    HANDLE scm = OpenSCManager(NULL, NULL, SC_MANAGER_CREATE_SERVICE);
    if (scm)
    {
       HANDLE svc = CreateService( scm, "MyService", "My Service Display Name",
...);
       ..
    }
..
}
--- snip example ---

Now you have: 

1. service name "MyService" -> HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MyService
2. service (friendly) display name "My Service Display Name", under registry
key (1) ->  "DisplayName"="My Service Display Name"
3. service name in service process (compile/runtime) "my service" ->
SERVICE_TABLE_ENTRY -> StartServiceCtrlDispatcher ->
dlls/advapi32/service.c:service_control_dispatcher

No duplicate (1) and (2) are allowed with SCM.
For duplicates in (3) I'm not sure.

Console start:

net start MyService
net start "My Service Display Name"

Are there any trial/demo links for this?

Don't know, I'm using retail versions of VS.NET products.
But you can write a simple test case with the example snippet given to verify
this.

Regards
