I'm not sure I proposed this one already.

An atom is something that can not be broken apart (well, at least in the etymological sense).  Most atom names end in "-um"  (germanium, silicium, lithium, ...).

So what about "Satoshium" or "Bitcoinium" ?

You don't even know how close you just stepped to the truth with that sentence.
Did you have a glance at the secret proposal by any chance?

In all seriousness now, the best way to keep new people coming in is probably to continue moving the decimal place and calling the common unit of division a 'Bitcoin.'

Those who already use BTC will understand it and adapt.  Those who don't won't be confused and scared off by, 'I want to buy bitcoins, wait I have to buy 350 Satoshis?  WTS is a Satoshi?"

"Satoshi" is such a cool name:

1 = Satoshi
1000 = Kilo-toshi
1000,000 = Mega-toshi
10 BTC = Giga-toshi

German is an efficient and logical language. It should be employed to greatest effect.

0.01 Bitcoin = 1 Verantwortungszuständigkeiten
0.0001 Bitcoin = 1 Donaudampfschiffahrtskapitänswitwe
0.0000001 Bitcoin = Hubschrauberlandeplatz

Official terms as of now, please use liberally around the forum
