Hello Seymour;
First things first — move numbers! I know it sounds silly but without the move numbers my chess engine doesn’t work — so please put in the move numbers.
I looked it up on the net and here is what I found:
http://www.chessopeningsdatabase.com/5/e4,e5,Nf3,c5,/Chess-Openings-Database.htm
1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 c5
It could transpose into any of the following openings.
Kings Knight Opening includes Gunderam Defense, Greco Defense, Damiano Defense, Elephant Gambit.
The ECO code for this opening is C40
Personally (playing white) — I would play 3. Nxe5
1.e4 c5
2 Nf3 e5
This is a Sicilian defence — very well known and researched. It is blacks option of making 1 … c5 his opening move … once again it could transpose into different openings.
http://www.chessopeningsdatabase.com/5/e4,c5,Nf3,e5,/Chess-Openings-Database.htm
The ECO code is B27

You can look up virtually any chess opening — it is a wonderful place for these kinds of questions.
I took the liberty of selecting a game to post with the C40 ECO line — A very pretty little game with lots of pyrotechnics. I thought whites queen side castling very gutsy.

it’s called the "Hitler Switchback" and it is devastating because it clears the way for the Master Race of white pieces if you enemy can trick you into using it. Not cool, guys.

no, its okay, but here is the thing, you want to get 3 pawns moved, then you want to move your knights, then move your queens bishop, then you want to castle, after that you can do whatever you please, here is the thing you don’t want to move any of the same pieces in the beginning of the game, unless you are under attack also look out for the secret attacks the ones that are setup and blocked by other characters that can’t attack you, i like to get my queen involved towards the ending of the beginning game, that is huge your queen can take out 10 to 20 percent of the opponents without them even taking one of yours, if you set your knights to protect your king, then pretend like you will attack with your queens bishop make sure to get your pawn out the way and then secretly put your queen near your rook and then start a stupid battle with your pawn that is blocking the queen toward the end of the beginning game after that your queen will be able to take down people left and right and your opponent will have to try to attack your king but your king will be protected than they will try to attack your pawns which will leave them open for attack, i hope i am not confusing i think you understand how chess is split up into three games, beginning, middle and end, if you get hardcore with your queen you can skip a lot of the middle game and go in for the kill a lot faster
