Early 2000's doesn't sound odd at all though.

Because that’s referring the 2000’s decade. In terms of centuries, I would say we are still in the early 2000’s and that does feel odd to say.

I rather meant how it sounds. It's in the "hundreds".

Two thousands.
Twenty hundreds.

"Early twenty hundreds" does kind of make it sound like we live in 2224 instead while "early two thousands" sounds like 2002.
I could have written it better.
