I think it is actually String#underscore that is causing the problem (this is called by tableize) ruby-1.8.7-p302 > "KnownIP".underscore => "known_ip" The source of this can be seen at http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveSupport/Inflector.html#method-i-underscore At the head of this file is a statement that the rules will not be changed as this could cause existing apps to fail, which makes sense. I do not know how to override this for special cases (or if it is possible other than monkey patching). My suggestion in the earlier post to manually create the model file and call the model what you want, while using set_table_name may well be the solution.
