  5. A synthetic stock without the same strikes is referred to as a Split-Strike Synthetic Stock.

    I guess if you are determined for a name we can just go with the term Split-DTE Strangle.

    The straddle calendar should be built from 2 straddle with different expiry, I don't know if this has a name, split dte sound appropriate
