Apparently those are names for 50 and 100 BTC.
From this presentation[1] or the source code[2]:
1 Lovelace = 1 Bitcoin
1 Goldwasser = 10 Bitcoin
1 Rackoff = 25 Bitcoin
1 Pedersen = 50 Bitcoin
1 Williamson = 100 Bitcoin
But yes, those are meaningless names in themselves. Metric prefixes like "hectobitcoin" would be better.
