No, cn is for storing the 'common name' e.g. Tobias Koenig.
The display-name or also called formatted name is used in some PIM applications
for displaying it in a contact header line or something like that.

You can set the formatted name to what ever you want:
  Koenig, Tobias
  Dr. Tobias Koenig Jr.
  Koenig Jr, Dr. Tobias
etc. etc.

Either we use one string with a special format or to separated values.
BTW the latitude and longitude values are from type float.
