[Rails] How to change the error message easy way

[Neeraj Kumar]

validates_presence_of :fname

results in the error message

"Fname can't be blank".

What I want is "First Name can't be blank".

I could do this

def validate
  errors.add_to_base("First Name can't be blank") if fname.blank?
end

I find this clunky and I have to put everyrhing in the validate method. Is
there an easy to get what I want.

I tried this also validates_presence_of :fname , :message => 'new message'
still retains the fname.
