once or twice...

what you're after is a "method"...

(you may run into trouble if you try to call your column 'times', I'll
use 'times_repeated' in this example)

# word.rb
def complete
self.name * self.times_repeated if self.name
end

I recommend going through some Ruby tutorials - the "Ruby for Rails"
book has a good coverage of getting started through to intermediate
use.
