If @status_message is a StatusMessage then you can say @status_message.user.name @status_message.message or whatever the column names are. This assumes that StatusMessage belongs_to :user Does that solve the problem? If you don't want to use @status_message.user.name but would rather say @status_message.user_name then define an instance method of StatusMessage that returns user.name. In either case don't forget to check for @status_message.user nil if you can ever have a message without a user.
