Is there a name for local connectedness except you use punctured neigborhoods instead?

Take the definition for a locally connected space:

A space is locally connected at $c$ if for every neighborhood of $c$ contains an connected open neighborhood of $c$. A space is loccally connected if it's locally connected at all points.

Now what if we modify the definition to use punctured neighborhood of $c$, that is a set $P$ such that $P\cup \{c\}$ is open. That is:

A space is ? at $c$ if for every neighborhood of $c$ contains an open neighborhood $U$ of $c$ such that $U\setminus \{c\}$ is connected. A space is ? if it's ? at all points.

Is there a name for such spaces?

Example of such a space is $\mathbb R^2$, given $c$ and a neighborhood $N$ of $c$ we will have an $\epsilon>0$ such that $U=B_\epsilon(c)\subset N$ and we have that $B_\epsilon(c)\setminus\{c\}$ is connected.

On the other hand $\mathbb R$ is not such a space since given $c$ and a neighborhood then ther must be an $\epsilon$ such that $(c-\epsilon,c+\epsilon)\subset U$ and $(c-\epsilon,c+\epsilon)\setminus\{c\}$ is not connected.
