You're right. To be consistent with bytes we should call it a snack.
Henceforth, it follows that a doublesnack is called a lunch. And a quadruplesnack a fourthmeal.
There's only one right answer:
Nybble - 4 bits
Byte - 8 bits
Snyack - 16 bits
Lyunch - 32 bits
Dynner - 64 bits
In the spirit of redefining the kilobyte, we should define byte as having a nice, metric 10 bits. An 8 bit thing is obviously a bibyte. Then power of 2 multiples of them can include kibibibytes, mebibibytes, gibibibytes, and so on for clarity.

And what about elevensies?
(Ok,. I guess there's a difference between bits and hob-bits)
