Mixed Breed Combs?

Over the past year and a half I have hatched out to chickens from the same parents. The mother is an EE of a sort and the father is a Golden Polish. These are the parents:

The black hen with a pea comb and white earlobes.

And this handsome guy.

So, my question is if there is a name for the comb their children have. Here are the offspring:

Not sure if this is a roo or hen yet.

And this little hen who also happened to become an EE.

What do you think about the comb? Does it have a name, or do I get to name it?
 
The way I look at it, there isn't really a name for combs of mix breed chickens because they won't be repeatable.
It may look like a specific type of comb but the offspring of those birds may have a completely different appearing comb. And even other siblings from the same pair may not have the same comb.

So, not a known comb? I have mixed other breeds and never had a mix comb come out of it. I've mixed Wyandotte and Cochin before and only gotten Cochin combs. These birds almost have two combs, even the first one, though you can't see it well because it's younger and the comb is a little more flopped.
