I created custom object from Setting->Technical->Database Structure.
And I can't defined field name in 'name' must be 'x_name'.
When I called this in view it show 'object_name, object_id' like below image.

in your new object you need the result of  _name_get method.


by default _name_get will show field name 
if some other field shoud be used for representing name, then you define it in _rec_name = 'other_field'
and if you want name to be shown as combination of few field values then you need to define 
_name_get method

all this should be done in py file defining the object.... 
hope it helps...
