In 1910, six-year-old Harry Crosby was forever renamed. The Sunday edition of the Spokesman-Review published a feature called "The Bingville Bugle". Written by humorist Newton Newkirk, The Bingville Bugle was a parody of a hillbilly newsletter filled with gossipy tidbits, minstrel quips, creative spelling, and mock ads. A neighbor, 15-year-old Valentine Hobart, shared Crosby's enthusiasm for "The Bugle" and noting Crosby's laugh, took a liking to him and called him "Bingo from Bingville". Eventually the last vowel was dropped and the nickname stuck.
Harry Lillis "Bing" Crosby, Jr. (03 May 1903 - 14 Oct 1977) was a well known singer and actor. In 1910, at the age of 10, he received his nickname from a 15 year old neighbor. Both boys enjoyed the local paper's Sunday feature called "The Bingville Bugle". Neighbor Valentine Hobart started calling Crosby "Bingo from Bingville". The name, shortened to "Bing" stuck.
