Is this variation of the Caro Kann named?

If not, then I'd like to call it the Berlin Variation of the Caro Kann, as although it gives white a small advantage, with precise defence, White can't penetrate the wall.

Sample game.

I've played it with partial success, with wins, losses and draw.  I know how the forum feels about these 'new' openings, but I'd want some serious feedback. If there is a real name to this variation, please tell, and offer my sincere apologies to the namer.

@jengaias so like a french defence without the bad bishop. That does seem better. And if white decided 0-0-0, black would have difficult time. Hmm, thats food for thought.....

Really appreciate the feedback so far, and yeah, I guess h4-h5 is a problem. Maybe 0-0-0?

Is the overall idea with these openings to exchange material, promote a pawn, or draw?

Looks like a Gurgenidze variation.
