Hopscotch or Potsie?

In my neighborhood, we played "Potsie" (or "Potsy"). After I grew up, I kept hearing about a girl's game called "Hopscotch", and I wondered why I'd never heard of it. Eventually, I figured out that the two sidewalk games were one and the same. What did you call this game outlined in chalk with numbers in the boxes?
