I make damascus knives and when I drill and then hammer flat a layered blade it's called rain drop, and everyone I know making them calls them the same. Not to say some in other parts of the country call them something else. The other common pattern we're used to seeing on barrels called a 2, 3, 4 iron is called a star pattern when on a knife. I'm not saying there isn't one, but I've never seen a rain drop pattern on a gun barrel. If there is I'd like to see it.
