Isn't the name "perceptron" going to be a little confusing in this context?

Yes, I found the name misleading also.

...Hence why I've called my "feedforward artificial neural network model that maps sets of input data onto a set of appropriate outputs" builder Perceptron...

This would be like calling a linear model builder "Regression"

No need to take the name so literally though - it's rare names are taken literally at all!

Not in particular. Just a satisfiying name, and relevant enough.
