Unnamed Opening

I like trivia and stuff. So, I went looking for the shortest unnamed opening sequence. I found 1 e4 b5. And rightly so, you would say. So I looked through my two and a half million game database, and found 4 games, White scoring three and a half. Not to be deterred by mere statistics, I set up the position, and let Rybka blitz it out agains itself. To my surprise, Black scored 6 out of ten. Maybe there's a little something there? The theme seems to be to allow White a dangerous looking Kingside attack, at the cost of the exchange. I think it needs a name, any suggestions? A typical game starts like this, followed by finding exactly the right way to cover the checks.

hmm let my computer play the next moves, with 3 chess engines.
I used Arene 2.0.1, with engines : [spike] + [Sos Arena] + [Herman 32 bit]
Plus human intervention, to settle movement disagreements between engines.

Looked at the game and it isnt realy party time for black this opening, the weak point is the black bishop is pinned for a long while and when you can free your bishop, your king has no pawn defence left its out in the open. Overall white was tacticaly rated positive the whole game. Well here is a posible game played by a computer with little help of a human :

I'm surprised it is unnamed. I suppose you could call it the Polish Gambit: 1.d4 b5 is the Polish defence but this sacs a pawn.

I have not checked anything with computer, but I'm interested in playing this for black, so I want to find out what to do when white plays that line. The analysis is prob wrong, I just want to find out.
