While I'm not 100% sure this is the best possible name (not that I can think of anything better myself right now), at least it has precedent (Hofstadter's superrationality, which is the only ‘mainstream’ --i.e. notable enough for a Wikipedia article-- name for something similar -- unless you count the categorical imperative, but IMO the name categorical decision theory would be better for one specific theory than for a class.)
