Another idea to give names basing on how many times you have to divide Bitcoin by 10:
1 Bitcoin = Bitcoin
1/10/10 = 0.01 Bitcoin = Dibit
1/10/10/10 = 0.001 Bitcoin = Tribit
Use greek prefixes mono, di, tri, tetra, penta, hexa, hepta, octa, nona, deca
by far the best discussion. it has something the other suggestions lack:
- it scales
- it sets the matter down to the smallest unit, once and for all
- it is logical, a very important prequesite for the units that will be the most common ones once btc is widespread
