Article Abstract:

The decade beginning in 2000 has yet to be named, though there is a competition on the internet to find a name, and a number of suggestions have been offered. The twenty hundreds is a logical name, following the 1900s. This may appear too old-fashioned for some commentators, yet many other options, such as the millies may appear too frivolous. One possible name that could be used is the naughties, since it offers a feeling of fun, without problematic connotations.
