I don't think that there's a name for such a sequence.

Even if every term is on the opposite side of the limit than the preceding 
one, then I don't know any word for that. The corresponding series 
would then have every term be of opposite sign than the previous one, 
which is called an alternating series, but this would be only one kind 
thereof, because there are alternating series that don't alternate 
sides of the limit.
