Laravel - name a model using a reserved word

I know it's not possible to use a reserved word in PHP as class name, but my Laravel app enables managing of courses and classes, so I have a database table called classes, a ClassController and hopefully a Class model. However, in Laravel, my model has to be named Class which is not allowed in PHP:

class Class extends Model {}

Using a synonym, the closest being Lecture, still doesn't seem right.

Is there a Laravel workaround to this?

Laravel doesn't force you to use specific names for your models or controllers. It's just a convention. You can name your model whatever you want it to be. the only amend you will have to make is to declare protected $table = 'classes' in your model
