Even cleaner in Rails:
<%= select 'user', 'sites', Site::find_all.collect( &:name ) %>

(The important part being the &:name, the others are just oddities of my style.)

Another variation:

&lt;%= collection_select :user, :sites, Site.find(:all), :id, :name %&gt;


This will generate a key-value pair of site.name and site.id in the select tag.
