I always liked "credits". Would have been a good name for Bitcoin in the first place. But perhaps credit is better for microbitcoins, as a currency of the far future when 1 BTC = $1 million then 1 credit would have the buying power of $1 today.

if mBTC's are going to be the denomination used in everyday commerce, it would be a dire hinderance to mass adoption to call them any of the metric-derived proposed names.

I was thinking millibit before I even opened the thread, and that appears to be the general consensus (well at least amongst the few of us commenting).

It's a bitmill or btm - has been since April 2011 or so - stop trying to reinvent the wheel. If you want to use mBTC fine - but i'll always call it a bitmill and use btm to abbreviate.
That said - yes it's a bitmill to me - but I really don't think it matters all that much and am constantly astounded by how many times the exact same things get discussed on this forum.

Q: Which of the following sounds better to the AVERAGE person:
Your meal comes to 2.5 ________.
a) bitmills b) millibitcoins c) millibits d) "m.b.t.c's" e) bits
Yes, a subjective question, but I think it's safe to assume a poll of the general population would show a preference for "bits" 9 out of 10 times - possibly more.

Well, in my opinion, c. "Bits" would sound good, but it's already taken as a commonly used term in technology.

Another word is " mils" which has been used in several countries where the main currency unit was divided into thousandths. A one syllable word is most likely to gain common usage. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.vision.net.au%2F%7Epwood%2FVolume674.jpg&t=665&c=U2t3Km8oH4PaUw)

100% agreed. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any currency, denomination, or denomination nickname which contains more than 2 syllables. Dollar, buck, cent, pence, pound, yuan, yen, franc, euro, ruble, peso, bitcoin .... "bit" ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
