The biggest zillion I know is 10^63 = 1 vigintillion = 1 20-zillion, this means that a googol is 10 32-zillion, but I don't know what a 32-zillion is properly called, if it has a name. My suggestion for filling the name gap is to do away with long Latinate names: 10^66 = sation (for satan, or 666) 10^69 = suckion (don't ask) 10^72 = fiffion ("fifth" of a circle) 10^75 = quation (for three-quarters) 10^78 = borion (boring number) 10^81 = squarion 10^84 = barfion (84 is kind of a barfy number) 10^87 = irtion (for a stop on the IRT, if there is one there) 10^90 = oldion (the beginning of old age) 10^93 = bummion (bummed that I can't think of a better name) 10^96 = funnion (for math-fun) 10^99 = goolion (as close as we can get to googol)
