I think you mean Avogadro. There is no reason to round it up (especially
it's not arbitrary number!), world know how to name large numbers.
MB mega byte
GB giga
TB tera
PT peta
EB eksa byte (*)
ZB zeta
YB yotta
yotta prefix is 20 years old, but we still do not use it to much, I
believe that in case of need more prefixes will be given by SI.
BTW: naming like million, billion has much more range (hard to define),
but some part of the world insisted to confuse milliards with billions,
billions with trillions, billiards with quadrillions... ;-)
Last, but no least - there is Steinhaus–Moser notation for really LARGE
numbers ;-)
(*) EB was popular brand name of polish beer ;-)

How about rounding up Avragado's number from 6 * 10**23 to 10**24
(penta-pentabytes) and call it Avrabytes?
