Well in the ashes of war, you would need a name that will make people listen and demands respect. Despite being a peaceful group (originally), they would still fight for the rights of Faunus; just in a more peaceful way. They wouldn't riot, but they would set up boycotts and protests, as well as probably civil rights marches. Instead of attacking those in power on the battlefield with weapons, they were attacking with non-violent means against those that still oppressed them.

The name could come from Monty's theme of color names, as well as fangs normally being white. The original flag looked a lot less menacing after all compared to the more violent era of the current White Fang.
