I submitted Bit-Tot. That'll be 845 bit-tots , or 845 btt.
In case you don't like the hyphen, I also submitted bitbit. 845 bb.
They both have the advantage of sounding like toddler food or baby dinosaurs. Which implies that real men only play with real btc (jk).
edit: now I have decided the tidbit is my main entry.

Millies, as a friendly form of millibitcoins.
I like it because it goes with Mikes, a friendly form of microbitcoins, and someone is sure to do a nice logo of Millie and Mike.

Why not let a thousandth of a Bitcoin be one Mill? Then 'Millies' can be the informal form.

Bitcoin Bonus will send 5 Bitcoins to the person who is the first to submit the winning term which will be what we end up choosing to use for our site. How about you first pay out the bonus you owe me that's been in "payment pending" for about four weeks now on your site. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

As much as I am a fan of SI, mega, milli and micro might be a bit confusing for general public.

I think creating names for 0.001, 0.00001, etc. is silly. Just use two different units BTC and something like satoshi/bitcoinunits/bitcreds/credits representing 0.00000001 BTC. The problem with milli/micro/nano is that when you get a bitcoin amount like 0.00245678, what random btc name do you use..?
Also it's a LOT easier to tell the size of something when it's larger because of commas and no leading zeros: eg 34,400 BCU vs 0.00034400 BTC

That would be 2 millies, 456 mikes and 78 satoshis or 245678 satoshis

I think that the best way to give .001 bitcoins a name is to call it a bitmill. People say abbreviate bitcoin as BTC, so similarly, a bitmill will be abbreviated as BTM.
One dime could be .1 BTC but .09 bitcoins could be called 90 BTM or .09 BTC.
In a summery, people should name things as bitcoins or bitmills, no bitcents (since BTC could stand for bitcoin or bitcent). Bitmills could be abbreviated as BTM.

Another idea to give names basing on how many times you have to divide Bitcoin by 10:
1 Bitcoin = Bitcoin 1/10/10 = 0.01 Bitcoin = Dibit 1/10/10/10 = 0.001 Bitcoin = Tribit
Use greek prefixes mono, di, tri, tetra, penta, hexa, hepta, octa, nona, deca
I really like this one - it follows a set pattern and is easily memorable. Additionally, it means we won't have this debate every time a decimal point moves... Definitely my vote!

Millie for .001 is the winner, imo. May I propose 'milray' for .0001? Mark Twain introduced a fictional elaboration of the mill in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. When Hank Morgan, the American time traveler, introduces decimal currency to Arthurian Britain, he has it denominated in cents, mills, and "milrays", or tenths of a mill (the name perhaps suggested by "myriad", meaning ten thousand or by the Portuguese and Brazilian milreis). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mill_%28currency%29#Fiction12GHuMPPZDxDqtZZS6wP2FTv2c4V4KPohW

by far the best discussion. it has something the other suggestions lack: - it scales - it sets the matter down to the smallest unit, once and for all - it is logical, a very important prequesite for the units that will be the most common ones once btc is widespread

I like "mills" or "millies".
The new default transaction fee is 5 mills per kilobyte, by the way.

It teaches people how to count in Latin. of course it fails at deca since thats 10 BTC not .howmanythefuzzthat'ssposedtobe then again doesn't bitcoin stop at 8 places? Anyways Mine is the Do bitAhem Do bit do bitDa ba da ba di bit Di ba da ba do bitDa bi do bit do bitDo bit do bitDa ba da ba di bit Di ba da ba do bitDa bi do bit do bitDuh bit da bit di bit da ba Duh bit da bit dididi da bit Duh ba do bit di bit do ba Duh ba do bit dididi do bit Do bit do bitDa ba da ba di bit Di ba da ba do bitDa bi do bit do bitDo bit do bitDa ba da ba di bit Di ba da ba do bitDa bi do bit do bitDuh bit da bit di bit da ba Duh bit da bit dididi dididi Dididi do bit dididi dididi Dididi do bit dididi dididi Di didi dididi didi didi di di di dibada dibada dibada di di bada dibada dididi diba dibadada dibadada di di diba daba dida di di dibada diba dada do bit So um.

This is a better suggestion, further, nobody wants to change what they are talking about every 10x. We're all used to changing every three 0's (eg, one thousand - 1,000, one million 1,000,000). I would take the OP's logic and build from the base like you. 1 bit 100 dibit 1,000 tribit 1,000,000 hexabit 1,000,000,000 nonabit This also loses the decimal completely, not sure why it's even used.
