Create multiple model objects using contents of an array in rails

Question

Let's say I have the following array:

[['a'],['b'],['c']]

I would like to create 3 new rows in my table... Let's call the table 'Letters'

So I would have the following

id  name
1   a
2   b
3   c

Is there anyway to do this in rails, in a single step?

letters.flatten.map{|letter| Letter.create(:name => letter)}
