I believe this is mainly a matter of customs. 

In Norway my example is typical for a hand that holds four hearts (or five
hearts with insufficient strength to bid 2H), and the common name for that
convention is just "negative double". The original idea was to show that "I
have lost my intended bid" e.g. 1H with 6+ HCP). The convention is extended
to cover among else the following situation:
1m - 1H - ?
A double now (still termed "negative") shows four spades while a bid of 1S
shows (at least) five spades.
