I went with "Encrypted for Your Pleasure".
Free Virus
Not mine, but saw "ClickHere4BBC".
They just really like the British Broadcasting Corporation!
Bloody right mate!
TellMyWifiLoveHer
Mine is "GetOffMyLAN". Then one of my neighbors changed theirs to "GetOffMyLan69". I'm not even mad.
Mines been named “WiFiArtThouRomeo” for, like, 20 years. Don’t know if it’s funny, but I think it’s cute. 
NotaHoneyPot
On an unsecured, password free hotspot.
"404 Network Unavailable" and "FBI Surveillance Van #273"
Lol I'm definitely stealing that fbi one, I love fucking with paranoid people
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
"SECURE YOUR NETWORK DIPASS"
This was back in the days when routers defaulted to no encryption with a stock password for the UI. Also I was the one who changed random people's SSID to that when I found an unsecured network.
I had trouble thinking up an original, funny name so I've just gone with "Lorem Ipsum" in the meantime
I work for an ISP. I got you fam.
- FBI VAN, FBI Surveillance Van, etc...

I can't think of more right now, but I see many every work week.
"Deez Nutzwork" lmfao!
Mine is 'the LAN before time'
Mine's We don't have WiFi
It's fun when guests ask "what's your WiFi called?" I tell them and they're baffled by all the electronics everywhere and me "not having" WiFi.
To be paired with "imnotgivingyouthepassword" to log in
For a while mines been:
"Free Public WiFi" for my secure main network
"Secure Home Network No Touchy" as my open guest network
For a while mine was named "Get off my lawn"
Mine is Trogdor.
I should make the password consummate v's.
Password should be Fhqwhgads. Come on Fhqwhgads, I said come on Fhqwhgads. Everybody to the limit, everybody to the limit, everybody come on Fhqwhgads!
The system is down
I lived in the hood for a while, and a neighbor's wifi was called CrackWhoreNet.
"All my neighbours are cunts"
"CovidVaccineActivation5G"
Lord of the Pings
I live close to a train station and mine is called: "[name of the operator]_public“ wonder how many people tried to connect😅
Hide your kids, hide your wi-fi.
My sister had me name the wi-fi extender as "Papa John's Pizza and Abortions". My mother's side of the family is Catholic. We're still waiting for one of them to notice it
███████ Scratch off for password
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'
From Auntie Donna's Big 'ol House of Fun, "pretty fly for a WiFi"
"pretty fly for a wifi" is super common, I see it all the time.
Definitely predates aunty donna
Had one named "FBI Surveillance Van #3". I know, not so creative even 10-years ago, but read on.
Guy at the end of the street sold weed. He was telling my neighbor to be on the lookout, there was an FBI van cruising around. Being at the end of the street, my signal faded in and out like it was moving. Dude was freaked the fuck out.
One of my older ones was "WeDontHaveWifi" because people would say "what's your wifi?" and we would tell them that and sometimes they would say "ohh, ok" and not ask for the password, haha. Password, incidentally, was "whatPassword?"
I'm personally a fan of:
"New Wi-Fi Who Dis" and "Spaceballs: The Wi-Fi"
My mobile hotspot name is Win32Virus.exe
The looks when I turn it on in an airport...
The ultimately stupid name would be "Allahu Akbar". That would maybe cause some trouble.
Nothing will ever top "Galaxy Note 7". Super fun in planes, especially if they're flying.
FBI Surveillance Van
I've seen that used at a local burrito shop near me
Are you sure you aren't being followed?
