There would be a short adaption period, where people will need to talk about "new bitcoins" and "old bitcoins" in order to disambiguate them. However, Bitcoin users are techies, so I don't think that the ambiguity will be a big issue. I don't think lots of people will mistakenly send 1000 times more than the amount they intended. The name "bitcoin" has a huge advantage over any other proposal, because it is already established. No marketing is needed. This kind of renaming has already taken place many times in history, because the currency was debased. Bitcoin would be the first time it happens in the other direction.
