Lets call mBTC "credits" like in sci-fi movies.

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.

For my serious answer I agree with the millibits. It just makes the most sense.

millibit - nicknames just add confusion.

In my humble opinion.

Yeah. Millibit is by far the best. It's quick and rolls off the tongue. It's already a nickname, because it's already fast!
It's easier to say than "Bitcoin" in my opinion, and it really sticks in your mind.

Bitmill

agreed. its been used in the bitcoin community for years and also in the bitcoin game dragons tale, so i think it wins purely on account of the name being around the longest.. (grandad rights)

I don't think we need confusing nicknames, millibitcoin / the metric system in general is just fine. Maybe "millibit" is nice as abbreviation, since it is "almost" the proper metric name, but I wouldn't want (or use) anything fancy just for the sake of having a nickname.

Millibit flows nicely. Though I think that abbreviations and nicknames will come about naturally, much like they have for USD, differing between languages even.

Yeah, let's just use ฿E-3 for milis, ฿E-6 for micros and ฿E-8 for satoshis!

Since the beginning there were always some people who wanted to rename things/move the decimal point/change the default unit in the client/whine about anything.
That will never end.
