About mahjong group names

Most mahjong group names are built from the game's own small vocabulary. A set has three suits, which American players call bams, craks and dots (bamboo, characters and circles), plus the four winds, the three dragons and the flower tiles. The suits invite puns, such as Crak of Dawn, Bam Bam Club and Dot's All Folks, while the winds, dragons and flowers make calmer club names like East Wind Regulars, Red Dragon Society and Plum Blossom Club.

The American game, often spelled mah jongg, adds table talk of its own: eight jokers, a card of hands that is replaced every year, and the Charleston, the opening round of passing tiles right, across and left. That is where Never Pass a Joker, New Card Day and Right, Across, Left come from. A small part of the list uses terms from other rule sets, such as Tenpai Table for riichi players and Thirteen Orphans, a hand from Chinese styles of play.

The rest follows how groups really get named: by the day they meet (Tuesday Tiles, Mahjong at Seven), by what is on the snack table (Mahj and Muffins, Tea and Tiles), for beginners' classes, league teams and family tables, and after the sparrow, the usual translation of the game's Chinese name. Entries spell the game mahjong throughout.

How to choose mahjong group names

  • Pick a name from the rule set your table plays. The Charleston, jokers and the card belong to the American game, tenpai and dora to riichi, and chow to Chinese styles, so a term nobody at the table uses will fall flat.
  • A day-and-time name doubles as a reminder. Tuesday Tiles, Four on Friday or Mahjong at Seven tells every new member when to show up, and it works as the group chat title too.
  • Settle the spelling first. If your group writes mah jongg or mah-jong, change the word in the name you pick so it matches your flyers and sign-up sheets.
  • For a league or tournament team, keep it short enough for a score sheet and a shirt: Rack Attack, Team Soap and Wall Breakers all fit on one line.
  • For a class at a library or community center, say plainly what it is. Mahjong 101, Learn to Play Mahjong and The Learners' Table tell newcomers they are welcome.

Frequently asked questions

What are good names for a mahjong group?

For a weekly table, try The Tile Society, East Wind Regulars, The Usual Four or Four Winds Wednesday. For a club, Plum Blossom Club, Red Dragon Society and The Sparrow Society read well on a sign-up sheet. For a league team, short names like Rack Attack and Wall Breakers work best.

What are some funny mahjong group names?

The suits and the equipment do most of the work: Crak of Dawn, Crak Me Up, Dot's All Folks, Rack and Roll and Tile We Meet Again. American table talk gives a few more, such as Never Pass a Joker and Did Someone Say Mahj. All of them are clean enough for a community center flyer.

Is it spelled mahjong or mah jongg?

Both are in use. Mah jongg, with two g's, is a common spelling for the American game and its yearly card, mahjong is the usual spelling in general English, and mah-jong appears as well. The names here use mahjong so the list is consistent, and you can change the spelling to match your group.

What do bams, craks, dots and soap mean?

They are American players' short names for the tiles. Bams are the bamboo suit, craks the character suit and dots the circle suit, and soap is the white dragon. Mahj is what a player calls on completing a winning hand, and it is also the everyday short name for the game, which is why names like Call It Mahj, Monday Mahj and Soap and Jokers make sense to anyone who plays.
