Since table name are a combination of application name and model name, by default, normally things will "just work". You appear to have changed the application name mid-stream, which is why you're seeing something go a bit awry. Fortunately, you can have full manual control over the database table name. See http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/model-api/#db-table .
