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

Use greek prefixes mono, di, tri, tetra, penta, hexa, hepta, octa, nona, deca

I like this.
I also like the idea prefixing the amount with the number of leading zeros so there is no doubt:
.0001 = 3฿1
.0000023 = 5฿23
