Depends. If after 2.dxe5, Black plays 2...Nc6, it is the Englund Gambit. If he follows with 2...d6 3.exd6 Bxd6, it is the Blackburne-Hartlub Gambit
The best opening name is the Toilet Variation - a line of the Grand Prix Attack. It got it's name from Tartakower thinking it up while he was sitting on the commode.
It is 1.e4 c5 2.f4 (Back then, they did not play 2.Nc3 first in the Grand Prix - 2.Nc3 back then automatically signified that White was about to play the Closed Sicilian) 2...d5! 3.Nc3 (instead of accepting the Tal Gambit with 3.exd5). This is known as the Toilet Variation, or simply, The Toilet.

Elephant gambit?
Favorite name comes from the Sicilian Dragon, as that sounds pretty interesting in the past and to this day and even someone said it sounds like for "nerds" in which was also interesting to me. Of course it was the name that intruiged me, the opening is good to if played correctly!
Favorite opening as a whole is Reti Gambit, plain and simple!
@TeacherOfPain I learned the dragon for the exact same reason- the name!
Yeah lol...
