limiting the rate of change of an attribute in rails

I have a user model. I want to place a limitation of the rate of which the user can change his/her name.

Obivously a person doesn't change a name every day or every week.

How would be best to implement such a limit for example able to change once a month?

The only way I can think of is placing another attributes for each existing attribute so for the :name I will created :name_last_changed_at and each time I would test it.

Is there a more elegant/rails-way to do it?

You can relate on updated_at column and validate it in model.
