Using ORM Entity mutators to change value doesn't work

Hi everyone,

I'm very excited wit new CakePHP 3 ORM! 

Now I'm playing with accessors and mutators but I have issues trying to change the value to save on db.

Here is my Entity

<?php

namespace App\Model\Entity;

use Cake\ORM\Entity;

class Author extends Entity {

    protected $_accessible = ['*' => true];

    public function getName($name) {

        return str_replace(',', ' ', $name);

    }

    public function setName($name) {

        $name = str_replace(' ', ',', $name);

        return $name;

    }

    public function getNameUpper() {

        return strtoupper($this->_properties['name']);

    }

}

Everything works except for Author::setName().  When I save from controller

public function saveAuthor() {

    //debug($this->request->data());

    $data = ['name' => 'John Smith'];

    $authors = TableRegistry::get('Authors');

    $author = $authors->newEntity($data);

    if (!$authors->save($author)) {

        die("error");

    }

}

setName method is called and return the $name to save but in database the name doesn't reflect the changes done in setName.

setName returns 'John,Smith' but in db I have 'John Smith'.

Have I misunderstood how mutators work?
