I've got "Little Silhouetto of a LAN" and "Caught in a LANslide" for the 5 and 2.4ghz
My neighbours' "PrettyFlyForAWiFi"
For a while mines been:
"Free Public WiFi" for my secure main network
"Secure Home Network No Touchy" as my open guest network
[unavailable]
I guess it's supposed to deter people from using it or something, but I have to admit that it did confuse me for a hot minute.
My mobile hotspot name is Win32Virus.exe
The looks when I turn it on in an airport...

I saw "Martin Router King" and the classical "BND Überwachungsfahrzeug"(BND=German surveillance Service). Überwachungsfahrzeug means surveillance vehicle.

Set my friend’s WiFi to “Muggle Magic”
My guest network was called ShareYourWifi, but my wife made me change it
I live close to a train station and mine is called: "[name of the operator]_public“ wonder how many people tried to connect😅

My buddy upgraded to a mesh network and named it 'one wifi to bind them'
Heard a story about a wifi network in an apartment building called 'We can hear you having sex'

Mine has been WaiFu for the last couple years.
Used "Super WAN" for my 5Ghz and "Bat WAN" for my 2.4Ghz.
I lived in the hood for a while, and a neighbor's wifi was called CrackWhoreNet.
At my old house, mine was NeverGonnaGiveYouUp. Nobody continued it for all the five years I was there, as far as I could tell :(
I set my parents wifi to FBIVAN back when I was living with them. I think my siblings took that router with them when they moved out and I'm pretty sure they never changed it
"HP Laserjet M402DN", one of my least favorite desktop laser printers.

I came across a network named estrogen. Someone took the time to login to the router and change the name but didn't change the default username and password. I changed it to testosterone...
My guest WiFi is called Honeypot. I leave it up even when guests aren't around, but for some reason none of my neighbors have tried to connect. Either they're all much more tech savvy or much less tech savvy than I give them credit.
