Is there a fancy name for the "left side" and "right side" of a decimal number?
(That is, the pre-decimal part and the post-decimal part.)

In normal use, "integer part" and "fractional part" does reign supreme.
However if the decimal is used in the context of logarithms, the terms you want are "characteristic" and "mantissa". A generation ago, when sliderules were common, these terms were better known.
We really do use "integer part" and "fractional part" respectively: see Wikipedia, e.g., on decimal fractions.
