1.c4 b6 is the most accurate move order.

why is it that when you play 1. d4 b6, it says the opening is the "english defense," and when you play 1. d4 e6 2. c4 b6, it says it is the "queen's pawn opening: english defense?"

because chess.com opening names guy was high when he made this

Yes, it's a decent opening. Few people know how to play against it since it's not too common. White must not allow the Bb4 pin, so a3 is the passion killer though, if not to refute the system, at least to take some fun out of it. But there seems to be a lot of play for both sides nevertheless...
