Yes, the '90s already have a name: Post Cold-War.
Similarly, the '30s and '40s aren't so much defined by the numeric appellation as by The Depression and World War II.
I suspect (though futurism is a fool's game) that eventually this last decade will primarily come to be defined by 9/11 and the spasmodic reaction to same.
Besides the "names" we give periods tend to be erroneously reductive rather than helpfully descriptive so if we can skip that for a couple decades I'm all in favor.
