The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

What's wrong with 0.01BTC = 1 MegaSatoshi?
That sets us up for the move in a few years to kilosatoshis.

millibits rolls off the tounge easiest IMHO.
If you have ever had to convert from Imperial Measurements to the Metric System, as I did in grade 3 (Metric was officially adopted and taught in schools here in Canada when I was in grade 3) you can quickly adapt. It is very simple. I see the division of bitcoin units to be very much "metric money"
There is a reason metric is the standard system for precision engineering.

Me too, that's why I put up that site  Another name I like is 'Millicoins'. I've made it the primary name for mBTC on http://btctip.com. I've also made 'centcoins' the primary way to refer to cBTC. I think we need to try different names until we find one that sticks. My favorite for mBTC at the moment is ₩. |

kili= 1000 or thousandths
mili millionths
bili billionts bi 2
tril trillionths tri3
quadra
penti 5

...
pico
nano
btc'ers who send trilibits could be called trilobytes for being troglodytes...sextibits sounds a little porny to me. I prefer nano bit but doesn't fit the context

how about 10 thousadths= decikils and 100 thousadths = centikils
10 millionths= decimils(duh decimals, probably where the name derives) and 100millionths = centimils

for a few years now a 1000th of a bitcoin has been WIDELY known as a bitmill... check out the game Dragon's tale which is/was the first fully interactive 3D bitcoin game, used for fun, gambing or simply as a faucet. |

^ That's not bad. It uses the convention used in going from 'bitcoin' to 'bitcent', by replacing the latter half and keeping the 'bit'. I like 'millicoin' only because it has the word 'coin' in it. Me too, that's why I put up that site Another name I like is 'Millicoins'. I've made it the primary name for mBTC on http://btctip.com. I've also made 'centcoins' the primary way to refer to cBTC.

That's the currency symbol for the Korean Won, and was also used as a symbol for the fictional Woolong currency in Cowboy Bebop. See the link for more information. |
