Is it bad naming convention to have a model named "model"?

Question

Specifically in Ruby on Rails. I have a model and controller dedicated to 3D models and unfortunately "model" was the best name I could come up with.

I'm not sure if this is a subjective question so forgive me if it is.

I don't believe there is any problem with this.
