What are the weirdest gambit names  you ever heard of and do you think these gambits are sound?

I don't know how to type German, but the U should have an um lout over it:

Tubingen Gambit (1.Nc3 Nf6 2.g4) and Yes, ABSOLUTELY, it's sound.

Lolli Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Nf3 g5 4.Bc4 g4 5.Bxf7+ Kxf7 6.O-O gxf3), and ABSOLUTELY NOT!  I don't even find the King's Gambit Sound, and SURELY this ain't sound.

I'll pass.  I support the Black side only when it comes to the King's Gambit.

As White, my favorite gambit isn't really a gambit at all.  It's this nice, lovely, attacking chess opening called the Queen's Gambit. 

And for those of you that think the Queen's Gambit is slow and boring, check out the following attack I had in the Rubinstein Variation of the QGD where I conduct a double-rook sacrifice in order to mate Black on the 22nd move!

Oh, and based on message 2, uhm, no, you don't gambit your Queen in the Queen's Gambit.  Keep in mind, it's possessive, "Queen's Gambit", not "Queen Gambit"

I don't know if it's "weird" or not but the Medusa Gambit is a great name. I wouldn't say the opening itself is sound but it's definitely interesting. It goes 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g5
