I am far from being an expert (as far as you can get). However, to me,
this 
chord screams to be called a flat fifth because of the way it sounds. It 
simply sounds like it's the fifth that's being replaced with its flat 
counterpart.

In Elton John's 'Honky Chateau' album, there's a song called 'Amy'. It's 
full of these (what I'm calling) flat fifths in both the minor and major 
chords. It really gives it a cool edgy feeling.
