It appears that this may be the technique rails uses, first to get the table name from the model in the generate command String#tableize is used, then singularize is used on this to get the file name, and then camelize to get the class name, so ruby-1.8.7-p302 > "KnownIP".tableize => "known_ips" ruby-1.8.7-p302 > "KnownIP".tableize.singularize.camelize => "KnownIp" Since tableize uses ActiveSupport::Inflector.tableize it may be possible to override this for particular cases.
