Default Does this block have a name?

I messed up a friendship star that I was sewing and got this block. I could swear I’ve seen it before, but don’t remember the name. Google is getting me nowhere. Is this an actual named traditional block? I feel like I can’t be the only one to mess up a friendship star and think “Huh, that’s kind of neat. Think I’ll keep it.”

It has a number of names in BlockBase, with various colorings - Double Hour Glass, Contrary Wife, Road to California...

There are other blocks with these same names. Quilting nomenclature is not well defined.

Thanks! The Contrary Wife block is probably what I was thinking of. What an awful name!

if you turn the 1/2 square triangles differently you also have a cute pinwheel.
