Trying to keep in line with actual units of measurements in the metric system, since we;re one decimal place off a nanobit, a good compensation would be "ninobit", in my opinion.

But I agree with some posters above, that the decimal should be shifted all the way to the right and not be used. I thinks the fact that bitcoins can be divided so small makes them seem silly to non bitocin users and can hinder their use in the real world, for average people. The decimal really serves no purpose since at the rate the value of BTC is climbing, in the future very few people will even be able to talk about whole bitcoins...
