"Yeah, a 110 years after." reads as "Yeah, a one hundred and ten years after."

When you write a number like 100, you always say or expand out the full name of it, like "one hundred," never the place denotation by itself, like "hundred."

She was named a hundred and ten years after Einstein was named, in a temporal sense rather than a transitive one.
