1) The last time I checked the code, I arrived at the same conclusion.

2) Its just a name for a complex number in which the real and imaginary
parts are taken from a gaussian distribution. I think it comes from the
fact that a 2D gaussian random vector radius has Rayleigh distribution.

You didn't asked, but just in case you find this in the future: the
relation between the N_0 parameter of a continuum white noise model and the
SNR (or variance) of its discrete counterpart is not trivial.
