I'm wondering, is there a name for a prime number where all digits are also prime?

Some examples: 37, 53, 3253, 5573, 23753.

I've been calling them 'double primes', but I doubt that's the correct term (if there is any).

They aren't interesting enough to deserve a name. – Gerry Myerson May 5 '12 at 13:03

Uhm -- choosing a decimal representation is a rather arbitrary choice, which makes me think that this is not a very interesting property. – user20266 May 5 '12 at 13:05

Here's a link about them at MathWorld, but no specific name for them. – hardmath May 5 '12 at 13:20

Why not call them "prime numbers with only prime digits"? – GEdgar May 5 '12 at 13:21

From GEdgar so we have an answer:

Why not call them "prime numbers with only prime digits"?

Chris Caldwell in his Prime Pages calls them "prime-digit primes."
