Or Phrygian ?6 mode maybe? If you would like to accentuate the major degree in a predominantly minor scale.

That is a Dorian ?2 scale, or the second mode of the melodic minor scale. It may also be called the Phrygian ?6 scale, or sometimes the Javanese scale. @Tim points out that this scale may also go by the name Phrygidorian. Here is a link to the question about names for melodic minor modes mentioned by @Tim .

This scale can be played with ?9sus4 chords. It is often played in modal jazz tunes.
