In the new api, it's the field display_name. Just override the field display name to a computed one.
class res_partner(Model):
...display_name = fields.Char(
string='Name', compute='_compute_display_name',
)@api.one
@api.depends('name', 'parent_id.name')
def _compute_display_name(self):
names = [self.parent_id.name, self.name]
self.display_name = ' / '.join(filter(None, names))

I had some problems with this until I read this post by Martin Trigaux in the mailing list:

Perhaps is a good idea to update the docs.
Hello, Sorry to contradict you but it's actually still name_get that you should override. The initial intended behaviour was indeed to have display_name as replacement of name_get. However there were lot's of issues with the initial implementation and it was not backward compatible with the old api and we have to partially go back to old behaviour[1].
So the current behaviour of the name_get/display_name is the following:
name_get is still the main function used for rendering display_name is a computed field that will use name_get If you want to change both, you should still override name_get (see event for example[2]).
Changing the method of display_name would affect only display_name, not name_get (can be what we want[3] but usually not).
We may change one day to fully use display_name and drop name_get but that means breaking the backward-compatibility.
Hope it's clear.
