I �ve once seen the period 2000-2009 being referred to as �the noughties � (nought = zero).

I �ve just checked both �the noughties" and "the zeros decade" (only "the zeros" will include lots of links to a music band).
Here are the Google Results.
- Results 1 - 20 of about 644,000 for the zeros decade.
- Results 1 - 20 of about 2,120,000 for the noughties.
P.S.: I love Google.
P.S.(2): Ok, I know we have to be careful about it.... lol.

Like Philip, I �ve seen the decade referred to as the �noughties �. It �s common enough in the UK at any rate.
Shouldn �t be confused with the �Naughty Nineties � (1890 - 1899)!
Looking forward to the �Teens �/ �Teenies �/ �Tennies �....
