You’re welcome 
Wouldn't it be Westin Gambit?
One of those issues with rushing to uses certain terms like 'invent' is people have gone before you and been there and done that
Found 2 examples from 2003 and 2017, granted neither are the best but 'invented'?...no....more like independently discovered.
On which 8...Bxa1?? is atrocious and 8...d6 is simply better for Black.
8O( sorry....but you get points for trying

Thanks. I checked the chess.com database and the Westin has never been played before
ive given it no computer analysis but the line below would scare me as white
if white gambits a pawn with c3 it could be scary but honestly it does not seem worth it
in the first diagram it can transpose into the scotch with c3 but i honestly think black has an edge in that position

If that's the Westin Defense, what are each of the following?
- The Quality Defense?
- The Comfort Defense?
- The Clarion Defense?
- The Sleep Defense?
- The Holiday Inn Express Defense?
- The Motel 6 Defense?

Cool! Why is it called the Westin?
Good question! It reminds me of a posh hotel I went to in Brisbane called the Westin. That was so much fun

Main line (declined):
And here’s another: any name suggestions?
Thanks to Crunchwald_The_Fourth for finding this nice little trap for Black (now named the Pepperoni Attack because of his profile pic)
Feel free to try out this opening in your games!
