Is there any special name for a function of the form $ax^2+c$
(i.e. a quadratic function with no linear term)?
"centered quadratic" or something?

I've never heard of such a term. If I had to make one up, I would borrow terminology from cubic equations and call it a "depressed" quadratic.
As hinted by Peter and confirmed by Web search, this is called a pure quadratic. https://develacademy.com/pure-quadratic-equation/
