Why can't we just rename 100 satoshis as 1 bitcoin?

This is the best solution to me also.

1 BTC = 100 satoshis (instead of 100M)

above is proof of poor people that want to shout to the world "i finally have one bitcoin"

so me, having so much more will be the first to laugh at them and say

"no sonny, your still poor you only have 100 satoshi's"

calling such a low number a bitcoin is only something the poor will want, to appear richer without actually bothering to earn 100m satoshi's
so please give it a break with that silly idea.. a bitcoin is a bitcoin..

it looks like the consensus is to skip mBTC and uBTC measurements. so the only question is what do we call 100sat.

do we go with 1bit or give it another name.. i think 1zib is weird and wrong as it has no relevance and looks alien in regards to crypto.
so what other suggestions are there for 100sat's
so far 1bit is in the lead, and unless someone comes up with another word the consensus will stick with 1bit.

i personally have these in mind for 100sat's:
1gav (in honour of gavin A's 3 years of hard work as lead developer/scientist so far)
1alp (in honour of the alpaca socks (first legit merchant))

now show us some gray matter movement and get some good idea's going instead of this endless repetition of a 3day old arguement
