There is a plugin that does what you want:
http://agilewebdevelopment.com/plugins/error_messages_for

I use it in my production applications and it''s quite useful. I
don''t think
I''ve even scratched the surface in my current iterations of what is
possible
and convient with it.

The most important feature you''ll like of it is if you create a method
called business_name in any of your models and have it return a string, that
string will be used as the text when referring to that model.

So in a model like this

class Monday < AR::Blah::Blah

  def business_name
    "Tuesday"
  end

end

Monday becomes Tuesday.

I''m not 100% sure I understand your question but does this help?

in your model override the human_attribute_name method:

def self.human_attribute_name(attribute)
  return "My Custom Name" if attribute == "name"
  etc...
  etc...
end

good luck!
