There's all kinds of options strategies and different names for them. I have been buying calls on a stock at a strike of $17.50 and selling puts at strike of$15.00. Is there a name for buying calls and selling puts on the same stock?

<<<Is there a name for buying calls and selling puts on the same stock?>>>
If the puts and the calls had the same strike price and the same expiration date it would be called a "synthetic long" position.
If you were short the underlying stock and you sold the $15 puts and bought the $17.50 calls it would be called a "short fence" or a "split-strike reversal."
I have never heard a name for the combination of a short put at one strike and a long call at a higher strike. The most descriptive name for that combination (that I can think of) might be a "split-strike synthetic long" position.
Addendum:
I want to add that a couple of other answers you got to this question are incorrect.
One called this strategy "hedging" but it is not. Both the long call call and the short put have a positive delta so one does not hedge the other.
Another called this strategy a ""reverse collar" but it is not. A "reverse collar" is just another name for a "short fence" and requires that you be short the stock as well as being long the call and short the put. For a more complete explanation of a reverse collar see
