Since the ... hmm ... well since the twenties really each decade has been given this catchy and rather call sounding name

for example

the twenties , the thirties, fourties , fifties, sixties , seventies, eighties and nineties.

im sure like some out there i felt , well  this trend for decade names started in the 20's and not before , which got me thinking what will they call the decade of 2000 to 2009 , the first time i heard the name the Noughties was on VH1 and tbh i hated it i felt it sounded ridicolous , but like many things it grew on me the more and more i heard it , and now this is the excepeted term for this decade.

So as this decade next year draws to a close it got me thinking what will they name the next decade , which in my opnion is the hardest one of the bunch to make sound cool ...

the only ones i could think of were these

The Tennies   (ten-eees) - i'd say the most likely

or

The Teenies  (teen-eees) this is horrible tbh


so what do you think is it one of the two i mentioned or do you have another possible suggestion ?

I've been wondering the same thing in terms of sports games. Madden '10 doesn't quite sound right.

Whatever we come up with will be erased by the blanket term of 'Early 21st century' which will no doubt be used from the 2030s onwards.

I always hate this decade being called the noughties. It sounds stupid. I just call it the 2000's. I'll call the next decade the 2010's.

Madden: 2010? (Sounds bad)
Madden: Decade?
I don't know. Haven't thought about it.
