 - Transforms: Original filename (e.g., `animal.js`)
+- Plural names: Auto-pluralized by default (e.g., `animal` → `animals`). Override with `static pluralName` on the model class (e.g., `static pluralName = 'people'`). All call sites use `getPluralName()` from the plural registry, **not** `pluralize()` directly.

+### Overriding Plural Names
+
+By default, model names are auto-pluralized (e.g., `animal` → `animals`) for REST routes, JSON:API URLs, and DB table names. When auto-pluralization produces the wrong result, override it with `static pluralName`:
+
+```javascript
+import { Model, attr } from '@stonyx/orm';
+
+export default class PersonModel extends Model {
+  static pluralName = 'people';
+
+  name = attr('string');
+}
+```
+
+The override is picked up automatically during ORM initialization — no additional registration is needed. All internal call sites (REST routes, JSON:API type references, MySQL table names, foreign key references) use the overridden value.
