I dont think there is a name for that.
Is there a name for this in chess?

Yes it’s actually called bongcloud

It's generally agreed castling is advisable for King safety.

Perhaps because the centre is locked with pawns which the King can safely hide behind which is better than the sides which might be more exposed.
I really DK?
Yep my name was inspired by the DK villain
It is called bongcloud, I guess! Not sure though

Who do you mean the, "don't know villain" who is them is that me?
I don't think it has any name but there's plenty of times when keeping the king in the center makes good sense. U might reach the conclusion that the middle game will be brief and not dangerous and having the king centralized would give u a head start for the endgame. As u know a centralized king is good most of the time in the ending.

There are some viable lines that are congruent with this idea. The Steinitz Gambit is one such line but it is challenging to play.
