Use foreign_key option like so:

class Agent < AR::Base
  has_many :bookings, :foreign_key => :booked_by
end

class Booking < AR::Base
  belongs_to :agent, :foreign_key => :booked_by
end

Fromhas_many doc andbelongs_to doc.

I think this is what you are looking for:

Class Agent

has_many    :names, class_name: 'Booking'

Class Booking 

belongs_to  :booked_by, class_name: 'Agent'
