Name for opening please

Hi everyone, Im sure someone will know the awnser to this. What is the opening name for e4 e5 d4. Thanks in advance.

Officially it's called the Center (or Centre!) Game, but it almost always transposes to something else. e.g. the Scotch: 1. e4 e5 2. d4 exd4 3. Nf3 Nc6

If it continues, 2... exd3 3. c3 dxc3 it becomes the Danish gambit.

It can also spring from the Englund Gambit. 1.d4 e5?! 2.e4.

Of course the Englund Gambit is famous for it's one trap which has
caught 21 RHP players. Here is one from last year.
