change value of simple_form label

I have the following code:

<%= f.label :body, value: 'name'} %>
<div class="message_body_input">
    <%= f.input :body, as: :text, input_html: {value: @body_text}, label: false %>      
</div>

I need to have the label outside of the div because of my css. The label is appearing properly, but I can't figure out how to change the label text. I've looked through the simple form documentation and it does not cover how to do it when the label is outside of the input field. How would I change the label from saying 'body' to say 'name'?

Label does not have value, use label option as:

<%= f.label :body, label: 'name' %>
#=> <label class="string control-label" for="body"> name</label>

Depending upon your wrapper configuration you might get different classes and other nested elements.
