Does this trap have a name?

I'm not much into traps, so I don't know any by it's name. It's just that I won a lot of games with this one that I picked from someone that used it against me, so I'm wondering if it has a name.

It's an extreme case in this game. If opponents falls for it trying to get more out of position, but he still plays correctly, I only get a pawn back with some tempo, or exchange knights, but if opponent tries to hold on to that pawn harder, he'll get into all sorts of troubles like it's apparent in this example.
Weird, I've seen similar mistakes when White badly misplays a King's Gambit. I don't think this trap has a name... does anyone else know?
A similar opening with a trap just like this would be the WAYWARD QUEEN ATTACK
