The lead is the ♥Q from dummy .

If East covers, then Declarer may get 3 tricks from the suit if he next finesses for the Ten .

If East Ducks, then Declarer can only get 2 tricks .

It's just standard that you cover the second touching honour in this situation, but I've never heard a name/rule for it.

It is not a bad rule of thumb not to cover the first honour led from a sequence unless it is obvious to do so.

The rule is called: Don't do it when the situation is as follows

I think you need to be a bit clearer to make your point here.

If you don't cover the first time, you get to lead away from your king the next time. Sorry, thought it was obvious.

Things are always obvious once they've been explained :)
