The highest accepted named number in the system of successive powers of ten is the centillion, first recorded in 1852. It is 1 followed by 600 noughts. The number 10 to the power of 100 is designated a googol. "Ten raised to the power of a googol is described as a googolplex."
The highest named number outside the decimal notation is the Buddhist asankhyeya, which is equal to 10 to the power of 140.
The highest number ever used in a mathematical proof is Graham’s number, named after Ronald Graham, a Californian mathematician. The value of Graham's number can be seen at site 2 below.

Nope. Graham's number is much bigger. I mean this number is big. Really big. You won't believe how mind-bogglingly big it is. You might think that a googolplex is a fiarly large number, but that's just peanuts to Graham's number.

No, you can have a googleplexplex, (that's a 1 followed by a googleplex of zeros) or a googleplexplexplex, etc.
Apparently.

Well... I dunno. I mostly figure yes, coz no one would have the time of thinking of a larger number, and besides, if there was, Google name would have been that one.
I am sure however no one deserves the name but Google ;)
