Pluralize the right way table name with 2 words

Since the command rails g model ModelName generates a migration for creating the table, I want to make the name of the table look right. The name of my model is CategoryProduct and its pluralized version should be CategoriesProduct. The model name comes right. But when I run the command to generate the model the migrations comes like this:

class CreateCategoryProducts < ActiveRecord::Migration[5.0]
  def change
    create_table :category_products do |t|

      t.timestamps
    end
  end
end

I already changed the file initializers/inflections.rb to made the correction:

ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections do |inflect|
  inflect.irregular 'categoryproduct', 'categoriesproduct'
end

So, why is it still generating the wrong name with underscore?

If you want your tablename to be categoriesproduct, then create a table with the desired name and specify the tablename in the model.

class CategoryProduct < ActiveRecord::Base
  self.table_name = "categoriesproduct"
end
