Do you call the decade from 2001-2009 the 2000s, or the Aughts?

Ideally, they should be called the Twenty-Zeroes. None of us will live to see it but I'm confident this century we're currently living in will be referred to as the "2000's" by later generations.

Good point, but if I were to refer to the earliest decade of some centuries, I would have to specify in parentheses. |

2000’s. Something about “aughts” or “aughties” just annoys the hell out of me

I've never heard anyone say "aughts".
Beyond that, I wish people would say the year now like twenty twenty four, not two thousand twenty four. I get saying "two thousand" prior to 2010 because "twenty oh nine" sounds weird, but in 1924 were people saying "Happy one thousand nine hundred twenty four!" I doubt it.
