You may want to give this answer a few days, this website sees it's most visitors on the weekdays - strangely.

For now though, there are several uncharacterized hybrids coils out there:
The Rodin Coil
...
come to think of it, that's the only one I know has a name, there's some fancy coils in the Joule Thief Thread area.

Hopefully another member of two will elaborate.
