Ah the humble service set identifier! It seems to have grown from a simple way for access points to identify themselves to potential clients to a little public bulletin board for airing one’s grievances toward noisy neighbors or showcasing one’s wit.
What notable SSIDs have you run into out in the wild or created yourself?
I think I’m gonna have to name my next one “Jen this is the internet” or something similar
I’ve carried over Silence of The LANs to multiple routers for so many years now. An old favourite.
My network name used to be: DoYouKnowWhyIAmFat? Password: EverytimeIFuckYoMomSheGivesMeACookie#2024
Mine used to be “Network Name? Why not Zoidberg?”
When I was living in an apartment complex for students, I saw “secret batcave wlan”, so I changed mine to “wayne manor guests”
I read one where the wifi password at a bar was “YouGottaBuyADrinkFirst.” So… customers would ask for the password, then buy a drink, then ask for the password again and be like “oh… you crafty bastard.”

My last one was ‘Insert WiFi Pun Here’ because I couldn’t think of a good one in the spot.
I’m keen on my own: NecromancerGlitterPonies
Mine is coincidentally named “Where’s the ponies?” 🤣
Buddy had one of those barely FCC compliant wifi “debugger” boards, so for a while we actually had an entire armada of FBI surveillance vehicles, vans, and a helicopter on every 2.4ghz channel lol.
I dont know if fake SSID advertisements really impede actual stations, but it was pretty funny seeing 15 SSIDs coming from a single, almost thumbstick size board.
Every neighborhood has a FBI Surveillance Van and a Pretty Fly For A WiFi, just like every marina has a boat named Seas The Day and Wet Dream
Here in my country I’ve seen many “Martin Router King”
Mine is named “Searching…”
It’s caught a few friends out
How long did they wait?
One of my neighbors is The_Booty_Warrior. My hypothesis is that’s the pear-shaped Army chick that lives across the street, but it might be the balding middle aged family man two doors down.

If you can wander around with kismet and a GPS sensor on a laptop, you can map the location of a WAP.
