It's a hanging pink one ;D The trouble with fuschia names is there are so many varieties that look the same to the naked eye but a plant breeder will see one tiny thing different and give it a new name then it will be crossed on and at one time in the future it will look exactly the same as the original, but it will get a new name anyway. There has been a lot of renaming in the plant world and some big pruducers pander to the romantic in all of us and call it something most of us can relate to. If you have purchased it as a hanging basket variety, it will be a hybrid and I doubt it will be hardy

Heritage is right - there are plenty of very similar ones about. One I've got this year which looks pretty similar is "Put's Folly", but the skirt is slightly narrower.
There is a dbase of pictures here:

which might be a start.

Looking through my pic's of fuschia still makes it not an easy task on ID.....a few which are close are, Marine Glow, Popsie Girl, Waveney Gem and Checkerboard. ....And it's probably none of those...!
