Hello. Could someone tell me please how to read the following years correctly, check if the ones I wrote are correct and perhaps give some more acceptable options? Which are the most common options?

1509
-one thousand five hundred and nine [is it a right way of reading this year?]
-fifteen oh nine [is it informal way of writing that year?]
-[fifteen hundred and nine] - incorrect I think, isn't it?

1001
-one thousand (and) one
-ten oh one [is it informal way of writing that year?]

1010
-ten ten
-one thousand (and) ten [is that correct?]

650
-six hundred (and) fifty

2008
-two tousand (and) eight
-twenty oh eight [is it informal way of writing that year?]
-[twenty eight] - incorrect I think, isn't it?

2012
-twenty twelve
-two thousand (and) twelve
