Why would they want to change the name? I think it's an excellent name,
but then I am a nudist (although I prefer the term naturist).

What is racey about nudist or nudism?

The clothing compulsive culture in the US, as well as other cultures,
have a real problem with body shame, or lack of body acceptance, and an
irrational blind conformity to society's temporary fashions and rules.

This was not aimed at Sarah but at society in general.

I would like to do some anthropological research on nudism/naturism,
but I am a bit biased on the subject. Although, field work wouldn't be
a problem.

Anyway, thank you Sarah for the information about the software and CAM.
