What are the proposed names until now?
You'd have to look back at the ones I quoted. Obviously, some of the suggestions were less serious than others. If you don't feel like going back, just list your suggestions; if any are duplicates they'll just be tossed out before the poll choices are chosen.

Bitcoin is the ultimate freedom test. It tells you who is giving lip service and who genuinely believes in it.
... ... In the future, books that summarize the history of money will have a line that says, “and then came bitcoin.” It is the economic singularity. And we are living in it now. - Ryan Dickherber... ... ATTENTION BFL MINING NEWBS: Just got your Jalapenos in? Wondering how to get the most value for the least hassle? Give BitMinter a try! It's a smaller pool with a fair & low-fee payment method, lots of statistical feedback, and it's easier than EasyMiner! (Yes, we want your hashing power, but seriously, it IS the easiest pool to use! Sign up in seconds to try it!)... ... The idea that deflation causes hoarding (to any problematic degree) is a lie used to justify theft of value from your savings.

Given the historical precedent of naming currency denominations in honor of historically significant persons, and the fact that bitcoin has continued this precedent with the Satoshi, I humbly submit the... Snowden. Some would argue his contribution to freedom may one day be seen to rival Franklin's; and it would be nice to see the value of a Snowden equivalent to a Franklin. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Also for your consideration: the Assange, Babbage, and Hayek.

On further consideration, as much as I like the Snowden (and I'm not withdrawing it) it might be a bit ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) too much "in your face" for the good of Bitcoin in general. It may be that the Hayek would be more appropriate from a marketing perspective.

1 BTC / 1,000 = Millibit or Milly or Millies 1 BTC / 1,000,000 = Microbit or Mikey or Mikeys
So, 0.0001 BTC = 0.1 millies or 100 mikeys

Minicoin would sound pretty good imo, though the problem with many of these suggestions with -coin in the name is that people might think that it's another cryptocurrency. (because honestly, there's hundreds of different cryptocoins out there now)

Obviously ? Really ? Who's opinion ? How do you judge less or more serious ? All the judgements should be made by voting, not by one individual. OK, you set the 0.1 BTC prize and you can send it to anyone you like, but if this is not a fair game or some of us don't think it's a fair game, then it may end up less people would use the name you decided for 0.0001 btc. So, to make less complains as possible, to make more people willing to use the name in the future, I strongly suggest that : Don't be obvious. Put all the names in the poll, if it is obvious then let the voting say so.

Don't be so serious about this contest, this is just for fun. Even if 1000 forum members unanimously vote for a serous name, it may still not be adopted by the masses. This a hardly an official referendum ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

This a hardly an official referendum ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Yeah... you are right, maybe I'm too serious. 1 BTC = 100,000,000 Satoshi It may never have anything between, needed or not needed. But if we have to name something between, I would prefer just one name for 0.0001BTC or 10000 Satoshi instead of mBTC or/and kSatoshi. Shit, actually you are right, it will not be adopted by the masses. even a real outstanding name comes out here...

I think I'm nobody. I was trying to help him, to make this game more serious. But I speak like complaining or you read it so, shit, my fucking poor English. Well, I don't think the voting thing is stupid.

Given the historical precedent of naming currency denominations in honor of historically significant persons ... Ah, then it's time to chime in with the chaum: 1 chaum for David Chaum, who by essentially creating the original concept of secure digital cash based on cryptography, and his successes and failures with DigiCash, gave at least some of us an expectation, example, and hunger for practical electronic cash, and surely must have been a factor leading to the creation of bitcoin, zerocoin, etc.
