About newsies names

A newsie's name has three parts in this list: a first name, a street nickname in quotes and a family surname. The nickname is the part the other kids use. It comes from the trade (Ink, Headline, Late Edition), from cards, dice and street games (Deuce, Marbles, Snake Eyes), from an animal the kid moves like (Alley Cat, Sparrowhawk), from the city itself (Stoop, Fire Escape, Lamp Post) or from a mock title such as Commodore or Duchess. Fans will know the pattern from Racetrack, Spot and Kid Blink.

The first names and surnames are ones carried by Irish, Italian, Jewish, German and Polish families in New York in 1899, the year of the newsboys' strike, so a name like Giacomo "Frost" DeMarco or Miriam "Proof" Rabinowitz gives a character a family as well as a crew. About two in five entries are girls. Some nicknames carry a home turf, as in Brooklyn Keys, Harlem Piper, Bronx Bolt and Queens Quill, for stories with rival crews across the city.

The nicknames were written for this list in the style of the period, not copied from the film or the stage show, though an everyday word may turn up in both. Nicknames that mock a disability, a body, a faith or a background were left out on purpose.

How to choose newsies names

  • Choose the nickname first and let it suggest the kid. Whistler sells by sound, Rooftop knows every shortcut, and Last Copy never goes home with a paper unsold.
  • In dialogue, use the nickname alone. The full name with its surname is for introductions, roll calls and the moment an adult gets angry.
  • Match the surname to your character's family. The list mixes Irish, Italian, Jewish, German and Polish surnames, and you can swap in another surname without changing the nickname.
  • For a rival crew, give every member the same turf tag, the way Aaron "Harlem Dash" Fishman and Johanna "Harlem Piper" Kavanagh share theirs.
  • Keep nicknames kind. Street names of the period were often cruel about a limp, a stammer or a homeland, and a modern story reads better with names built on what a kid does.

Frequently asked questions

How are the nicknames in this list built?

Each one names something a kid on the street would be known for: the trade (Byline, Front Page), a game (Pinochle, Jacks), a habit (Chatter, Snooze), an animal or a corner of the city. A few follow the Kid pattern, as in Jozef "Kid Mischief" Gorski, and some add a home turf, as in Luigi "Flatbush Flash" Testa.

Are these names from the movie or the musical?

No. The film's newsies, such as Racetrack, Spot, Kid Blink, Crutchie and Dutchy, are named on this page only to show the style. The 500 entries were written for this list, for fan characters and original stories, and the page has no link to the makers of the film or the stage show. No entry is meant to be a real person.

Does the list include girl newsies?

Yes. About two in five entries have a girl's first name, for example Julia "Ribbons" Doyle, Sadie "Dispatch" Halpern and Zofia "Starlight" Pietrzak. The nicknames follow the same street logic as the boys' names, and many of them work for any character.

Why do the surnames come from different countries?

The list uses first names and surnames of five communities that lived in New York in 1899: Irish, Italian, Jewish, German and Polish. Polish names are written without accent marks, as they usually were in American records. Pick the family background your character needs, then pick the nickname you like.
