I don't like "credit". Bitcoin is not based on credits. Bitcoin by design promotes savings over credits. "Credit" sounds like world government fiat inflating money not voluntary "anarchistic" P2P currency.
I find "it's described as 'money of the future'" argument ridiculous. Sci-fi literature with "credits" usually describes future that I wouldn't want to live in (all powerful worldwide/space government and corporations). The fact that it's universally accepted in sci-fi culture almost looks like some Keynesian conspiracy
I vote NO to any "credit" connection.
If I would have to use something "futuristic" Crypto would be better in my opinion. But I think Satoshi is good name.

while we are juxtaposing any manner of syllables ...
.... how about "bitcred" or "credbit" ??
mBTC is fine for .001btc for the moment, trades on exchanges should probably remain denominated in BTC for the near and medium terms.
Reasons "credit" is better than "satoshi":
-It's only two syllables and scales well with SI prefixes (kilocred, megacred [.01btc], gigacred [10btc], etc)
-Universally accepted in sci-fi culture as 'money of the future'
-The name itself implies value
-It's two syllables

+1 to mBTC
Let's not complicate things too much...

I like using the slang of "millies" and "mikes" for the more formal "millibits" and "microbits", respectively.
These names are very easy to remember, for those of us that understand that 1 milli = 1e-3 and 1 micro = 1e-6. Certainly almost everyone on this forum is going to intuitively grok that nomenclature. It also gives me the mental picture of a bill with a face printed on it, in the same way that the term "Benjamin" refers to a $100 bill.
[Edited]Also, it appears that we already have general consensus that 0.00000001 BTC = 1 satoshi.

A coinbit 
@mewantsbitcoins:
:-) awesome. I was thinking more along the lines of Aretha Franklin but this will do.
BTC = RESPECT
Give me some of that BTC, find out what it means to me.

As for 50 cent being Satoshi, I don't think that 50 cent knows how to spell "Satoshi."

So now that prices have risen and transaction amounts will be smaller in numerical value for exchanges, I need to have a word for 0.001 of a Bitcoin and I know everyone else does too. Bitcent, BitNick and BitDime work well for 0.01, 0.05 and 0.10 BTC, respectively, but what should we call a milli-Bitcoin ?
I need a name to use for some upcoming Bonus Programs.
… A few pages more of code which I decided not to copy… I figured this was sufficient.

How about Lilbit? :-)
mBTC - mills ftw! A single syllable and easy to understand.
I don't know bout y'all, but I'm going to start using the Dibit, Tribit, etc. nomenclature...
I suggest to trivially adopt a name of an existing small coin, which rates 1/1000 to its base currency unit.
1 ฿ =
=1000 bitfils ( one bitfils=1btf http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fils_%28currency%29)
=1000 bitmillims (one bitmillim =1mbtc=1btm http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millime)
=109satoshi (1shi)
I'm absolutely agree that 'satoshi' is a fine name for the least part of btc.

1 satoshi = 1e-9 BTC (since it/he doesn't really exist)
0.001 BTC = 1e-3 BTC = = 1 millibitcoin = 1 million satoshi = 1 mill
I propose "1 mill"
we can have two camps one going to the left of the decimal, the other to the right and things can be thoroughly confused (and conflict with abbreviated millilitres and milligrams) but they will both agree on the mill.
I kind of like the idea of "mick" with no 's' as in:
"Hey, can you loan me 50 mick?"
"Apples are on for mick and half at the grocer."
"Hey, you still owe me a mick for the last time you bet me BitCoin wouldn't double again."
'Mick' being of course short for "millicoin" which in formal settings is much less of a mouthful than "millibitcoin". It would have an easy and natural abbreviation (mC) and would also provide a standard format for future extension ("nick" for nanocoin "pick" for picocoin etc.). Plus, it's fun to use! 200 mick says this option is the one that gets chosen.

Came up with another one. The tidbit (aka tBC aka tidbitcoin).
You can thank me later

Someone mentioned this in the tweettip thread:
1 mBTC = 1 internet
1 BTC = 1000 internets
1 mBTC = 1 internet
1 BTC = 1000 internets
