I've created a custom content type that inherits from a contact (i.e. <ContentType ID="0x010600...") and I'm trying to rename the "Title" field using the following:

<FieldRefs>
    <FieldRef ID="{fa564e0f-0c70-4ab9-b863-0177e6ddd247}" Name="Title" DisplayName="Last Name" Sealed="TRUE"  />
    <FieldRef ID="{82642ec8-ef9b-478f-acf9-31f7d45fbc31}" Name="LinkTitle" DisplayName="Last Name" Sealed="TRUE"/>
    <FieldRef ID="{BC91A437-52E7-49E1-8C4E-4698904B2B6D}" Name="LinkTitleNoMenu" DisplayName="Last Name" Sealed="TRUE" />
</FieldRefs>

It renames correctly in the Edit, View, and Add pages, but in the default view and DataGrid view it always says title. I want it renamed everywhere. Is what I'm trying to do possible and if so how? Any help is greatly appreciated.

In order for the field to be renamed in view you have to define your list using a ListTemplate and repeat your renaming of the fields in here (as well as the annoying repeating all of the fields from your content type which isn't standard)
