Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When creating a new calendar using the "New subscription from link (read-only)" in a target Nextcloud instance and the origin calendar has been exported from another Nextcloud instance via subscription link (I didn't try with other systems, but the behaviour should be similar), the name of the calendar is not preserved. Instead, the name of the calendar in the target instance is named as the origin Nextcloud instance.
If the same calendar is imported in Thunderbird, the name is correctly preserved.
Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to have the name of the calendar preserved, as it happens in another major CalDAV client, such as Thunderbird.
The user can always rename the calendar in his/her instance, but it would be great to preserve as default name the name assigned by the calendar creator.
Describe alternatives you've considered

Research direction
Reproduce the issue through “New subscription from link (read-only)” using a calendar exported from another Nextcloud instance, then trace the subscription import entry point. Compare the imported calendar name with the origin name and Thunderbird’s behavior; done means the origin calendar name is preserved by default.
