In remembrance of MtGox I would call it 'Gox'

It's a mbtc, we all know that.
.. and mbtc is soooo catchy. I use it all the time.
So call it a Millie for now. Catchier nicknames will arise naturally in time.
I'll wait for those catchier nicknames.
Interestingly, I've noticed that I never speak about bitcoin amounts in other than either full value or satoshi amounts, and when writing about a thousandth of a bitcoin I just write "0.001 btc".
Maybe the "mbtc" range is not needed.
oh point oh oh one bitcoins. /thread
What the hell with all these nerdy names? 
Normal plz we need speaking-friendly names
How about
1 Bitcoin = 1,000 SilverBit = 1,000,000 = CopperBit = 100,000,000 Sato-Bit
You sure worked hard to dig this thread up didn't you? Normal plz we need speaking-friendly names How about
1 Bitcoin = 1,000 SilverBit = 1,000,000 = CopperBit = 100,000,000 Sato-Bit
Especially as they already have established names, note this thread was created 3 years ago.

The last post before his is from December of 2013 and there really aren't any catchy names for these values that are established. Pipe down.

Nobody wants to call it a "gavin"?
Yes relating the units to Copper, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum is a great idea.
These are both already commodities of ascending value and widely recognised.
1BTC = 1Bitcoin
0.1BTC= 1Plat
0.01BTC= 1G
0.001BTC = 1S
0.0001BTC = 1B
0.00001BTC = 1C
for example.

For giggles, today only, I think a great name for 0.001 BTC is a dollar.
I actually really like this idea.
We could make it a "Dolla" or something close?
Nah, we should try to lose fiat ties at least in names.

Lets look at bitcoin (the blockchain) as a global database and a Satoshi as the minimal unit to save data in there.
So the currency could become an equivalent for the capacity to store data there, to write history. Maybe that is some day more important then money?
What are our measurements for data capacity?
Bit is the smallest unit for information. So a Satoshi could be equivalent to 1 bit.
1000 Satoshis = 1 kilobit ~ 1 cent (USD) at the current price
0.01 BTC = 1 000 000 Satoshi = 1 megabit ~ 10 USD
Of cours it could be confusing to use kilobit/megabit for a currency. Also it does not sound well. So a better name is needed, but maybe the analogy leads somebody to a nice name.
Satoshi is by far the best name for a currency, better then bitcoin IMHO.
Decimal/Cubic/Satoshi (DeCuSa) for 10^3 Satoshis (1000 Satoshis ~ 1 cent)?
And that as symbol: Đ as sign for the leaving dollar ;-)
Or maybe better a mathematical symbol like: Ξ or θ

0.001 BTC = 1 mib
A problem is that mille is French for the number 1000.
I feel as if we should stray from common names (e.g. Mike), since they don't exactly loan credibility to our money. What if a cent was actually a John? I don't think it'd work out well.
As for 0.001, I propose that we call it the "mille". It has a nice, flowing sound to it, and has established ground in the SI prefix system as well as in "permille" (as opposed to percent).
It also works well pluralized (see milles).
Anyways, those are just my ten milles on the idea.

haha, the day has arrived when we can officially mock the dollar and be justified. as we move forward, the dollar will slowly become obsolete with cryptocurrencies replacing it along with the BRIC nations basket currencies I think.
