The longest chain containing the double bond is the parent compound.

If it's a double bond C=C (as opposed to a COOH or CHO(aldehyde) or RCOR'(a ketone), the longest chain containing the double bond is the parent. All of the other "longer" chains or parts of them are names as substituents of the parent. Double bonds (C=C double bonds) take precedence over single bonds.
