Apr 24, 2015 at 9:09 comment added Monroe Eskew @ChrisLambie-Hanson, this answers the question but it looks like there is also some inconsistency in terminology. Woodin says "$\kappa_0$ is $\kappa_1$-huge'' to mean there is a huge embedding $j$ with critical point $\kappa_0$ and $j(\kappa_0) = \kappa_1$. I think Joel's terminology sounds the most clear and robust: "crit = x, target = y, closure = z..."
Apr 24, 2015 at 9:05 comment added Chris Lambie-Hanson In Magidor and Shelah's paper, "The tree property at successors of singular cardinals," a cardinal $\kappa$ is called $\tau$-huge if there is an elementary embedding $j:V \rightarrow M$ with critical point $\kappa$ such that $\kappa < \tau < j(\kappa) < j(\tau)$ and $M^{j(\tau)} \subseteq M$.
Apr 23, 2015 at 16:23 comment added Monroe Eskew Looks like it doesn't work by strength considerations. Suppose $\kappa$ is $\delta$-huge with closure $\lambda$, and $2^\delta<\lambda$. Then some reflection arguments show that for stationary many $\alpha < \kappa$, $V_\kappa \models \alpha$ is supercompact and huge.
Apr 23, 2015 at 15:23 comment added Joel David Hamkins If $\kappa<\lambda$, then in my paper on tall cardinals, I proved that $\kappa$ is tall with closure $\lambda$ just in case $\kappa$ is tall and also $\kappa$ is $\lambda$-supercompact. That is, the unified property is simply equivalent to the conjunction of the two separate properties. I couldn't make this work for your property (that is, having $\kappa$ be $\lambda$-supercompact and also huge with target below $\lambda$), but do you know that this doesn't work?
Apr 23, 2015 at 13:15 comment added Joel David Hamkins I like the fanciful names. But meanwhile, there is a notion "tall with closure $\lambda$", and in analogy with that, you could say that $\kappa$ is 1-huge with closure $\lambda$. For example, $n$-huge with closure $\lambda$ would mean $j:V\to M$ is $n$-huge and also $M^\lambda\subset M$. So the interesting case arises when $j^n(\kappa)<\lambda$.
Apr 23, 2015 at 13:06 comment added Miha Habič $\lambda$-sesquihuge is interesting, but inevitably someone will want to look at similar things between $n$- and $(n+1)$-huge cardinals and I don't think our Latin forefathers gave us enough prefixes for all of these.
Apr 23, 2015 at 11:25 comment added Asaf Karagila It looks kinda similar to the high jump cardinals in the paper I linked. Although I haven't sat down to contemplate the exact definition there.
Apr 23, 2015 at 10:19 comment added Monroe Eskew Actually I like it. $\lambda$-sesquihuge. Your comment was good, phantom commenter.
Apr 23, 2015 at 9:38 comment added Dominic van der Zypen I suggest $]1,2[$-huge because it states in a clear and short form what you want.
Apr 23, 2015 at 9:37 comment added Asaf Karagila arxiv.org/abs/1307.7387 might have a term for this cardinal.
Apr 23, 2015 at 9:33 comment added Monroe Eskew Oy vey. Well at least I want something that talks about $\lambda$, similar to "$\lambda$-supercompact."
Apr 23, 2015 at 9:32 comment added Asaf Karagila Some suggestions (in case no one named these cardinals before): colossal cardinal, vast cardinal, yonder cardinal, 1.5-huge cardinal, and I can continue perhaps indefinitely.
