The slip bishop doesn't seem to have an established name — its move seems to be less suggestive than the slip rook's colourswitching. Gilman dubs it ‘Bear’, Bear Chess notwithstanding.

Incidentally, apparently the original Seeping Switchers proposal refers to these as wazir‐ and ferzriders (and their compound, that army's queen, as manrider). Looks like Gilman wasn't the first to try to reappropriate these otherwise redundant terms
