Sometimes I name unfavorable column name in its model.

And I want to rename column with rename_column method, like below.

class XXX
  rename_column :users, :user_name, :name
end

But I'm not sure how I can give the class name for this migration.

Is there any usual way to name it?

I don't see anything wrong with `class ChangeUsernameToName` – XML Slayer Aug 23 '15 at 04:56
I feel that's nice in this case. But If there is the same column name on other models, the name seems to be unclear. – gaaamii Aug 23 '15 at 05:08

Then go with `class ChangeUsersUsernameToName` – XML Slayer Aug 23 '15 at 05:12

I agree with @XMLSlayer 's solution. `class ChangeUsersUsernameToName` looks better. Thanks! – gaaamii Jan 10 '16 at 05:18
