Very cool study. So do we actually have established names for atomic openings? I've searched on the topic quite a bit and never found any results. I've just been giving them my own names.

I just came up with the name since I'm the first one that really started playing this opening, but it doesn't officially have a name.

there are established names for some openings, but they are seemingly sort of forgotten (i havent seen anyone use them since tipau),

It is quite difficult to name most openings, as they are common to everyone, but in specific discovered variations (or openings that have been played very frequently by a player) I usually call the opening by the player's name.

Like e3 b4 (jake varianton) or nh3 e3 (grandlapin line)
