I decided to run this from the console:

 ActiveRecord::Base.connection.rename_column :tablename, :old_column_name, :new_column_name

you start the console: rails g migration ChangeColName
you edit the file db / migrate / "timestamp" _change_col_name.rb paste in def change -
```
 rename_column :tablename, :old_column_name, :new_column_name -save 
```
you start the console: rake db:migrate
