Here is my favourite one- The Elephant Fianchetto! (Don't ask me why I named it that way-I don't even know):
I expect you to analyze this a bit further and tell me what you think.
This doesn't look that original...
With your move order, you're playing a Grunfeld as White.

I can guarantee you that I didn't think like that when I came up with it. Even so, isn't playing a defence designed for black with white kind of original?
So I guess I have to rename my opening from Elephant fianchetto to Reverse Grunfeld.
Please check out the 4 Knights Fianchetto too:
So far we have got 3 openings:
1: Reverse Grunfeld
2: 4 Knights Fianchetto
3: Morra Gambit v2
We need some analysis on these, but I think that the order I have written them above is probably the order of "soundness", from the soundest to the least sound.
Sorry to do this, but, in order to save the thread from a premature death,
BUMP
By the way, I played two games with the reverse Grunfeld, but I lost both, because of some horrific blunders I did. I will post them soon though, just for fun.
But in this Morra gambit v.2, black doesn't really have any need to capture the c-pawn. He can play e5 and I don't see how white could get good play.
Nc6 is probably black's best 4th move. The Morra gambit vs is not good at all, it just gives black a lead in development, a slightly better centre, and a free pawn. Also it blocks the light squared bishop.
