If you look back on old ads from the 60's- these dolls were always referred to as bobbing head dolls. It is only the more recent issues of the last 20 years that the term bobblehead came into vogue. As a matter of fact when I was asked to do the Warman's Bobbing Head Field Guide in 2005, I insisted on that terminology.

Funny, I have always heard of them as Bobbleheads and that was as far back as the early 70's. I wonder if it, over the years, was a misunderstanding when people said Bobbing heads that what others "heard" was bobbleheads?

I've never really considered when the terminology changed, but have used the difference in terminology used by the seller as a quick check whether they had something from the 60's (Bobbing Head) or something more modern (Bobblehead). It's not a 100% accurate check, but then I'm from the South, where ordering a Coke is often met with, "What kind?"

We called them bobbleheads back in the late '60s. I think both terms have been used throughout their existence. I know that "Bobblehead" is currently more in vogue with stadium giveaways and such, But we definitely said it that way over 40 years ago as well.
Not sure why there has to be just one way to say it... I think that 4 monickers are actually acceptable... Bobbing Head Bobbin' Head Bobblehead Nodder There's really no right or wrong here
