Nakamoto is a bit long, I will admit, but it is only 1 syllable more than satoshi.
Naka could work as well. This would just be 中. This is also the short country name of China (中国). 中 could be the currency symbol. It is already in unicode...

新 means "new" and is pronounced the same in Chinese and Japanese (xin/shin). That character is also in unicode!!

I like Naka so while we pay a homeage to Satoshi Nakamoto it is somewhat different from bitcoin's naming tradition. We could have the currency symbol at the same time. One stone kills two birds.

So 1 NEM= 1 bitcoin; 1 naka= 1satoshi.

I like naka too. Satoshi is too long a name for common use and is also too small a value to have any practical relevance (1 BTC = 100,000,000 satoshis) but 1 NEM SHOULD NOT = 100,000,000 naka. It is very important to have a unit that has a useful value that is not too high so you are using a bunch of decimals but is not so low like a satoshi. 1 NEM = 1000 naka?

I also support Naka. And I agree that it should not be the name for the smallest subunit but rather the everyday unit.

So let's say if 1% of the world population uses NEM, there should be on average around 100,000 Naka for each person. (Maybe someone can think of a better metric?)

Now, if there are 4 billion coins and 1 NEM = 1000 Naka, there are 57,000 Naka for everyone in the 1%. So I think this works.
