Sadly in my apartment complex they seem to all use the default name given by the router (like Carrier-randomnumbers).
I have a friend who named his WiFi "Connecting..." which is diabolical

Mine is "network unavailable".
Ours is “Unsecured WiFi”
Three top SSIDs!
We had a bunch of “surveillance van #X” at an old apartment. I joined in.
This was before surveillance vans were a real threat though. Not as funny with all the ice shit these days.
All my neighbors are lame but I have two routers, giving me a total of six SSIDs to play with. So I have wifi names like "Trump Fucks Kids", "Charlie Kirk was a Literal Nazi", and "Where are the Epstein Files"?

Forgot to mention that I live in a red state too.
The "All my neighbors are lame" part makes sense now.
Love it
My network is named "Hot Signals In Your Area". It used to be "Routers of the Lost Ark". My guest network is "Guesty McGuestface"
Unfortunately, no one else in my building has anything creative.
I've seen "Leader Desslock", "NSA_Hotspot", "Wicked Evil Jowls". In college someone in my dorm named their's "Business Isn't a Real Major"
"FBI Surveillance Van" was my favorite local.
I should throw up a new "Antifa Countersurveillance Stationwagon" ssid
Business Isn't a Real Major
Diabolical, love it.
How about “Econ isn’t a science”
My phone hotspot is "Starbucks Free Wi-Fi" passworded of course.
My home is "Router? I hardly know her!"
A great password to use is "thepasswordtowhat".
Friend: Hey whats your wifi password?
Me: thepasswordtowhat
Friend: Your wifi
Me: What about it?
Friend: WHATS THE PASSWORD?
Me: thepasswordtowhat
Friend: Frustrated noises.
Lol mine is "Why?" for the same reasons
In a similar vein: idonotremember
Opening up wifi list at every DefCon I've been to:
"Never gonna give you up"
"Never gonna say goodbye "
"Never gonna run around "
"And desert you"
I cannot believe just how absurdly long that has endured - it's almost literally been an eternity in Internet time.
I think it helps that it's genuinely a really catchy, uplifting, fucking excellent song, with a fun music video, and the artist really seems like an incredibly wholesome sweetheart.
Just a note since google maps your SSID: To opt out, change the SSID (name) of your Wi-Fi access point (your wireless network name) so that it ends with "_nomap." For example, if your SSID is "12345," you would change it to "12345_nomap."
And probably not a good idea to publish your SSID if you don't want your location known because of things like this https://wigle.net/
Since OpenWRT supports special characters in wifi names, mine is (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
It fucks with older wifi chips but most modern stuff connects just fine
Neighbors at my old apartment had KKK as their network name. They were huge pieces of shit who knew I could hear everything through the walls, so they would have entire conversations about me with slurs every other word. They were also armed, and talked about their guns constantly (again, knowing I could hear everything). Imagine laying in bed at 3am trying to get some sleep before a 7am meeting, and having to listen to two racist assholes literally yell through the walls just to harass me and make sure I couldn’t fall asleep.
Living there was so stressful.
What the fuck is wrong with people.
I'm very sad that story didn't have a happy ending where they were both hit by a bus or got arrested in a drug sting.
I'm glad that was your old apartment friend.
I joined my neighbor. Her WiFi is called "gothcave", so I named mine "nerdcave"
So you... *ahem* ...caved in, then?
Mine is: ITHertzWhenIP
Wu Tang LAN
I wish to name it in a funny way. But there is a ton of devices that I have connected over the wifi and I dont have enough willpower to reconnect them all once I change the name.
I know a guy in college whose dorm ended up with a wifi naming theme. Someone (highly suspected to be the passive aggressive super religious fundie on the floor above) changed their wifi name to "Stop, we can all hear you having sex"
So naturally, someone changed theirs to 'I can hear you NOT having sex'
at that point it was on lol.

John Wilkes Bluetooth
I had a bunch of Trek Nerds living near me it seems:
Enterprise-D
Borg Cube
Deep Space Nine
Federation Satelite or something
It was wild
I went with it_hertz_when_IP but have yet to see anyone with similar naming...
Be safe guys. Because of SSID location mapping services it's possible to pinpoint the location of many people in this thread.
"shout 'penis' for password"
Mine is "Untrusted Network"
Not Spying On You
Covert NSA Surveillance
I Got Hacked
Connect to AOL

Ive seen "FBI Surveillance Van" a few times.
