So with that, we had 15 votes for milliBit:  it is the winner, although it will likely be abbreviated down to be Mill/Mille as Gavin suggested.
zeploum was the first to suggest this, along with 'mille'    Congratulations!

I'm also awarding AntiVigiliate 5 BTC for his suggestion of Do Bit.  I'll likely use that at times in the hopes that it becomes an informal name for 0.001 BTC, the same way that we have crown, farthing, sovereign and guinea for Pound,  or Buck for Dollar. 

I like whoever suggested "hopefully 1 Dollar"!

Thanks for everyones thoughts and helpful suggestions.  Let the Network Effect take over from here and lets see what sticks!
