In legacy configs and frontends people mostly used alias, display_name was rarely used and sometimes broken. In Icinga 2 we opted for display_name. As this is cumbersome to type I'd suggest to use alias everywhere and optionally drop or fade out display_name support.

object Host "localhost" {
  display_name = "Local host"
}

VS

object Host "localhost" {
  alias = "Local host"
}

Same goes for short_name VS name. I'd opt for name instead of short_name.

Cheers,
Thomas
