C# – WCF Service default values

I have following data contract class for my WCF Service:

[DataContract(Name = "MyClassDTO")]
public class MyClass
{
    private string name = "Default Name";

    [DataMember]
    public string Name
    {
        get { return name; }
        set { name = value; }
    }
}

When I use Visual Studio's Add Service Reference function to generate a WCF Service Reference the generated DataContract looks something like this:

[System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThroughAttribute()]
[System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("System.Runtime.Serialization", "3.0.0.0")]
[System.Runtime.Serialization.DataContractAttribute(Name = "MyClassDTO", Namespace = "xxx")]
[System.SerializableAttribute()]
public partial class MyClassDTO : object, System.Runtime.Serialization.IExtensibleDataObject, System.ComponentModel.INotifyPropertyChanged
{

    [System.Runtime.Serialization.OptionalFieldAttribute()]
    private string NameField;

    [System.Runtime.Serialization.DataMemberAttribute()]
    public string Name
    {
        get
        {
            return this.NameField;
        }
        set
        {
            if ((object.ReferenceEquals(this.NameField, value) != true))
            {
                this.NameField = value;
                this.RaisePropertyChanged("Name");
            }
        }
    }
}

That means, the default value "Default Name" gets lost and following behavior occurs:

MyClassDTO mcdto = new MyClassDTO();
serviceClient.DoSomething(mcdto);


[OperationContract]
void DoSomething(MyClass mc){
   mc.Name //<--   == null    but I want it to be "Default Name"
}

Is there a way configure the data contract that way, that the defined default value "Default Name" doesn't get lost?

additional information:
I use a service reference without reuse of types in referenced assemblys, e.g. on the client side the class MyClassDTO is generated an is not aware of the server side class MyClass
