Bingo Number Nicknames

To liven up the game of Bingo there are certain names that are used for every number. These names are specific to their own number and have a certain charm to them. See the full list below!

Bingo callers in Bingo halls often use rhymes or other short descriptions to liven up the stream of numbers being called. These are always in the same way – nickname first, then number. For instance, “Kelly’s Eye, number 1” – “Two little ducks, 22”. Here are some of the most common nicknames…

Even if the names are charming and it would be alot of fun, online Bingo games don’t use these nicknames. Given they are already using letters or colours with the numbers it would become too long-winded.
