An alternate tuning question (Fellsilent tuning)

Well, I read about this tuning in this thread So you wanna learn some FELLSILENT stuff?.

The tuning is Bb, F, Bb, Eb, F, Bb, Eb

Now, after playing around a lot with it, I've come to really like it. Is there a name for this tuning, or is it just what it is?

Curt-Platt is on a distinguished road
iv been without a seven string for a while now but i should have an Ibanez RG1077XL (after finally coming to terms with the fact i can afford a UV7BK yet) within two weeks or so an im looking forward to playing around in this tuning again.

"Fell Silent" are arguable one of the more innovative bands around in the UK these days along with "No Made Sense".
