What is the name of this "opening"?

White starts with c3...Qa4...Qh4...f3...Kd1 and at last Qe1. It is used to humiliate your opponent in bullet.

Does anyone know the name?
Rather than asking for opening names, try this link:
lichess.org/analysis#explorer
The analysis will give on the first move the opening name: A00 Saragossa opening
On every move a new name could be used to call the position. This is why I do not try to remember opening names.

Since you're only showing white moves I added a few black moves.
1. c3 Nf6 2. Qa4 Nc6 3. Qh4 d5 4. f3 h6 5. Kd1 g5 6. Qe1

I assume all this was only to show the Queen and King shifting sides. The King can no longer castle and tempos were lost. A bit like the rabbit and the hare story.

Are you sure that it's an opening that humiliates the opponent? Because it certainly looks like it is used to humiliate oneself. ;-)
About your question: Isn't that a type of "transvestite opening"? Somewhat questionable name, I know.
Not sure about the name.But recently(+ or -) world champ used it here on lichess during a bullet titled tournament.
