having names for smaller denominations is not confusing..

back in the Victorian days the UK had:
farthing £0.0025
penny £0.01
tupence £0.02
shilling £0.05
pound. £1.00
fiver £5.00
tenner £10.00
..and so on


even now the americans have:
penny/cent $0.01
nickel $0.05
dime $0.10
quarter $0.25
dollar/buck $1.00
lincoln $5.00
benjamin $100.00

i do however reject the idea to call a bitcoin anything less then 100000000 satoshi's and i reject calling a satoshi anything more then 0.00000001 bitcoins.

anything else in between can be named something, but knowing human evolution, using the terms microbitcoin and millibitcoins will if fully adopted, be reduced to a mike or milly as people start giving them lazy names using less syllables
