How does one pronounce this decade (00's)?

I remember last time around, the first decade of the century was
referred to the 'Nineteen Hundreds', however, this terms is starting
to become ambiguous as the younger generation see this as referring to
the entire 20th Century.

The jury is still out on this issue and the decade may only be
assigned an historical name in retrospect:

The Oh?s
The twenty-oh?s
The Uh-Ohs
The 0-Hundreds
The aughts
The naughts
The o-zone
The double naughts
The naughties
The zips
The pre-teens
The millies
The zeros
And my personal favorite, D1-2K (decade one of the second millennium). 

The list of course goes on, and while there appears to be no OFFICIAL
answer to your question please let me know if these sources provide at
least the most feasible answers to your question:

Lots of good answers for a three dollar question - can't ask for more than that!

Well what did people call the decade 1900 - 1909?

Howdy jupdfl-ga,

I have seen references to the 1900-1909 decade as the "19 aughts."

As an homage to that, I personally refer to the current decade as
the "20 aughts."

Looking Forward, denco-ga - Google Answers Researcher

I like "The Uh-Ohs." Seems descriptive of this hazard-filled decade.

"the first decade"
