What's the name for this star-like shape formed by joining rectangles to the edges of a (regular) polygon?

Is there a proper name for this shape - these examples are all the same, just with different 'arm' counts.

I'd describe the second one as a cross, but they presumably can't all be called crosses? All but the first two could qualify as an asterisk...

Would they be truncated stars? stargons? x-agons? polystars ? I'm thinking they have a proper name somewhere...
