It has long been referred to as BiCapitalization, I believe (see
http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/B/BiCapitalization.html). There is
also the related phenomenon of sTUdlY cAPs
(http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/S/studlycaps.html). InterCaps is also
listed in the jargon file as a synonym for BiCapitalization.
