I think “school” is good name for that. It clearly tells Finnish people
what to expect. One-consonant rule is one of the ideas behind it but a
name derived from that can be misleading because there are a lot of
hyphenation points between vowels too (“virko-aa”, “kau-emmas”).
Diphthongs are important part of this new hyphenation. “School” is good.

(Maybe we, or someone, can implement strict “one-consonant rule” Finnish
hyphenation in the future. We could preserve that name for hyphenation
patterns that really implement only “one-consonant rule” patterns.)
