    The oh's, the aughties, the double-zeros, the nils, the naughts, the age of the internets?

    This discussion happened in 1999, but no one uses any term consistently today.

    Which pretty much tells me that there won't be any universal term.

    What do we call the years from 1900 to 1909?

    Exactly.

    It's funny we were all wondering this at the end of the 90's. Now this decade is almost over and it still has no name. We usually use the "2000s" which works now, but how will it be distinguished in the future?

    I call them the 1900's but that is a tad bit incorrect. :p

    I've been thinking of them as the aughts since they started. In 20 or so years, it will be very old-timey when I talk about it to my grand-kids.

    I think it should be called the "Preteens" or "Tweens".

    That's what it is - the 2000s.

    That should've been an option in the poll.

    It will be called the greatest decade ever b/c I found a pair of amazing pants on sale at Saks the other day.

    I believe it's still the Willenium, or Will2K for short.
