yes it is called ambidextrous
One of the most famous varieties of cross-dominance is ambidexterity, (i.e., being equally adept with each hand, or, to a limited degree, foot). The word "ambidextrous" is derived from the Latin roots ambi, meaning "both," and dexter, meaning "right" (as opposed to left) or favorable. Thus, "ambidextrous" is literally "right on both sides".

I've no idea what the word for it is but my brother and father are the same. They write right handed, play cricket, tennis, golf etc etc as left handers and then play pool / snooker right handed.
Baffles me!!!

You may be a repressed left hander. As you grew up, it could have been impressed upon you to do certain things with your right hand, such as throwing a ball.

You are slightly, I write with my right hand, but use my left hand for everything else, like painting, cleaning, opening things etc.
