1. d4 d5 is known as the Queen’s Pawn opening. White’s second move, Nf3, does not have a specific name; it’s most commonly referred to simply as "Queen’s Pawn opening with 2. Nf3".
The most common follow-up move for black is ..Nf6, and if you follow the link below then you can read a Wiki article about how the game is likely to develop from here.
2 Nf3 leaves open transpositions via 3 c4. It has no specific name. The above/ before answer is best.
