gui - What is the name for the little numbers that appear over characters' heads when they lose health?

...you know the ones. Something like "value overlays" or "value pop-ups" describes them quite well, but I was thinking they might have a real name?

Answer

"Floating text" does it for me. That's what I've always called it, although I've never used it specifically for indicating damage done. My usage was usually to indicate where something important in the scene was (e.g. "retrieve this data disk").
