Weird how openings change.
Sort:
It’s called “transposition”. This is when you turn your position into another opening when you used a DIFFERENT opening to get there. Here, you just transposed multiple times.

Sometimes multiple tranpositions can occur.
1.e4 d5 - Scandinavian (B01)
2.exd5 Nf6 3.c4 c6 4.d4 cxd5 - Caro-Kann, Panov-Botvinnik Attack (B14)
5.Nc3 e6 6.Nf3 Bb4 7.Bd3 dxc4 8.Bxc4 O-O 9.O-O b6 - Nimzo-Indian, Karpov Variation (E54)
So notice, even after 1.e4, we wind up in a queen pawn opening!
Queen's Pawn Opening
e5 Englund Gambit
Center Game
exd4 Center Game Accepted/Nc6 Nimzowitsch Defense: Kennedy Variation
3.c3 (after exd4) Danish Gambit/ 3.Nf3 (after Nc6) Scotch Game
