I have called the sacrificial line, 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Nf6 3.Bxf7+, the Jerome-Knight Gambit, or the Impatient Jerome Gambit, linking it to Alonzo Wheeler Jerome's gambit, 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+.
The major proponent of 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Nf6 3.Bxf7+, at least according to The Database, not unexpectedly, is viejosquerosos (King of Bxf7+), playing at RedHotPawn, with 170 games.
Stockfish 16.1 (30 ply) rates 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ to be about 1/2 pawn better than 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Nf6 3.Bxf7+
