class Person
  include ActiveModel::AttributeMethods

  attr_accessor :name
  attribute_method_affix prefix: 'reset_', suffix: '_to_default!'
  define_attribute_methods :name

  private
    def reset_attribute_to_default!(attr)
      send("#{attr}=", 'Default Name')
    end
end

person = Person.new
person.name                         # => 'Gem'
person.reset_name_to_default!
person.name                         # => 'Default Name'
