My WiFi is ‘Secret Rebel Base’.

My neighbours have added ‘Jabba the Hub’, ‘Obi Lan Kenobi’, and ‘Red WiFi-ve Standing By’. This makes me happy.

Anyone else live in a neighbourhood that embraces this kind of WiFi silliness?

Mine is ‘HoloNet’, but it’s kind of a deep cut unless you’re really into Star Wars.

I have my 2.4 network named IsThisTheKrustyKrab and my 5 network named WutangLAN.

One neighbor joined in with Winternet is Coming, the other called theirs Childish Name.

I've been using "Riri Wifi et Loulou" for more than a decade. It's a pun on the french names of Huey, Dewey and Louie (it's supposed to be Riri Fifi et Loulou).

mine is: Let the FOSS be with you

Element of surprise. It does, in fact, have Internet

Router? I hardly know her!

This has been our family wifi SSID for almost 20 years, and over 2 continents. 😂

For over a decade, mine was "Pretty Fly For A Wifi".

[–] Horsey@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Next door used to use “Kevin’s Porn”. We’re still “Porn For Kevin” lol

For a while I had House LANister and a few neighbors joined with GoT names. We all changed to more standard names after the disappointing finale

Now I have "this is the ATT router" that I changed the name to do some debugging (I wasn't sure which one was my own router since I run it as a bridge) and recently another neighbor changed theirs to "and my xFinity"

My SO's wifi is called "Connection not possible"

Was on a train to London once and spotted a wifi called ‘I shaved your mum’. I still chuckle about it now.

I'm Tie WiFighter, but nobody's joined in in my neighborhood

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The only network I can see is my own. But as soon as the bears get wifi we'll engage in some goofy hilariousness!

nope. most don't change it. I actually just looked and I did change mine but sometimes I blow it off.

[–] MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

I wish. My WiFi is ZeroGravitas, a ship name from the Culture novels; the only other named WiFi in my vicinity is Routered in Faith. :-(

[–] DrunkAnRoot@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

police issued taser was great to find

[–] MattTheProgrammer@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I used to have 'FBI Van 21' back in the 2010s but haven't really cared in recent years

Years ago I had "pantomiming_suicide" and someone created one about calling the suicide hotline. It's actually a Mormon reference that I just thought would make a funny name but I can see how that wasn't obvious now.
