I thought Rawhide was a reference to the wild west via the tv-show by that name, isn't that the case? As for naming, I have no emotional connection to the name rawhide and doesn't see any problems with changing it. I would suggest that if it changes maybe not Felt or Wool but something more descriptive like Edge, Next or Volatile.
