I am using CModel (Gii specifically) to generate forms for my Yii application. I have a problem with how it names the name="" attributes of my form elements. They look exactly like my table fields on my DB. So, for a table like: Users. I get a form element like <input type="text" name="Users[usr_username]" ... />
This gives away my table name, and the fields. I understand that I can change the model name to something else to avoid showing my real table name, but I would also like to change usr_username to username at least. Or even remove the model name on the element's name attribute and have name="username" instead.
I would really appreciate your input.

So you could use simple text fields like this:
<?php echo CHtml::textField('username'); ?>
And then map them with your model attributes in the controller:
$model->usr_username = $_POST['username'];
But you won't be able to do massive assignment:
$model->attributes = $_POST['Users'];
