it probably wont be called anything. Think about it what do they call the decades of 1900-1909 and 1910-1919 nothing.
Its refered to now as the 2000s
In contrast to the decades from 1920 to 1999, which are called the twenties, the thirties and the like, the '00s have had no universally-accepted name. Some refer to the decade as the two thousands, but many find that usage awkward and incorrect for a number of reasons, most notably the fact that the many perceive the "two thousands" as pertaining to the 21st century. Written in numeral form, the decade can be written either as the "2000s" or as the "'00s", but looking for a name that has the same ease of use as the nineties or the fifties has been problematic, especially in the United States.
In the rest of the English-speaking world "The Noughties" and "The Noughts" have come to be the most widely recognized and accepted terms. The term "Noughties" has been adopted by the BBC, and while the term may not be universal, there is no other term so widely recognized. Probably the only reason that the term Noughties has not been completely accepted world wide is the fact that, in the United States (where usage of naught or nought to mean zero has never been ubiquitous), there is some confusion by those who assume erroneously that the term has something to do with the adjective naughty.
Other proposed names have been almost innumerable, and include, "the zeroes", the "aughts". But these other suggestions usually represent the wishes of individuals, and do not generally represent any burgeoning consensus.
The United Nations General Assembly declared the decade of 2000-2009 as the "International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence for the Children of the World."[4]

They will be called the '20s, I believe. Reason for this is that it seems that these are recycled names. We will no longer refer to the '20s as the '20s, but "1920"s as we do with the 1800s and 1700s, etc.

They are referred to as the "noughties" as you guessed. Its the "noughties" as opposed to the "naughties".
