I was aware of the Long Now Foundation's cute stylistic thing of adding a leading zero when they write the year (like this year is "02024") but I didn't realize they also had a cute name for it:

"Y10K Compliance"

@alan Just kicking the can down the road to year 99999, I see...
@alan I hate it. Nobody uses leading zeroes for a reason. Plus, if they chose a leading 1 instead, all of human history would be in positive years.

"Holocene Calendar" does something similar, it's just back dated a bit farther than a mere two millenia ago.
