Try following laravel naming conventions. User class uses users table. Don't start mixing if you are not working with an existing database.

That didn't work. Steps to reproduce.

1. Fresh laravel install
2. Alter .env with correct DB and credentials
3. run [php artisan make:auth]
4. run [php artisan migrate]
5. go to database tool and copy the users table to another table - say login
6. alter the App\User.php file with protected $table = "login".
7. register via the web interface and you'll see that your new registered user is in the newly copied table (e.g. login)... Sweet right?
8. drop the users table in the database
9. attempt to register a new user again via the web interface and you'll get a SQL error complaining that the users table doesn't exist.
