I am planning on changing the name of my WiFi network at home, just wondering if you escapees have any good suggestions?

Mine is called "Warp Gate" at the moment, a little bland I know. My gf's WiFi is called "Heaven", which I think is a pretty nice name for a network, but still I want something better.

I have thought of a few so far, something related to Avatar, "Insert ponytail penis here", or maybe "Virus Vault". And since StarCraft II is coming out, I might just call it "Overmind".

So what good names can you guys think of or seen?

Ours is named 'itfinallyworks' because it took fucking forever to set up.

One of our neighbors' Wifi is called 'dontstealthismike' or something like that.

Mines XIII which I thought was pretty cool beans, especially with everyone around me keeping the default, the number of wifi connections named Linksys makes me laugh.

You don't live in Texas do you? I saw a Wifi name once that was Heaven, lol.

Anyway, at my brother's appartment, I was once cruising for wifi on my DS. Unfortunately they were all locked but there was some funny names. One was "Magic Carpet" and there were a few others, but my favorite was "Get your own loser." Hehe :D

I can't change mine as I have A Tee and Tea, so mine is 2wire2309023-37-9ajb9ja046t0.

My previous SSID was 'KLPD Amsterdam Zuid' (KLPD = Royal Dutch Police), just to see if anyone would try to leech from it.
I changed it a while ago when I got a new wireless router though to something more sensible.

I am tempted to set it at 'Free Public Wifi' and then use Wireshark to sniff any leecher's traffic, might actually do that one day....

My father called it viruswarningdonotconnect, though most people don't name it around here.

The funniest i've seen was "We can hear you having sex". Mine is boring, based on my nickname.

What's WiFi?

Sorry, i'm a little ignorant >_<
WiFi = Wireless internet

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi

And the name I am refering to is the name you see when you try to connect to a wireless router.

Mine was called "James XXXX looks up kiddy porn" until i moved.

There was a guy who connected to my WiFi all the time until i figured out how to boot people off it. I was going through the setting and found out the guy that was logging on named his computer his full name. I then found out where he lived in my apartment building and what car he drove.

When i knew he was home i would constantly turn the computer on and off. Then i would change the name to things that insulted him. I used his full name and his apartment number. One day while heading to work he posted a note on the bulletin board "Whoever has named there WiFi after me please stop or i will inform the police."

I Wrote back on the paper, "Then stop looking up kiddy porn on my WiFi You perverted freak. I can see what your doing when you connect to my network."

When i came back he was reading it and took it down looking angry. The cops were never called.

To answer i honestly have no clue if you can see what other people were doing or if he was looking up kiddy porn. I just thought it was funny.

I turned it off when we moved because i don't need it here.

Mine used to be "pf21414", but it got reset, so now it's just "Linksys".

Mine is "blinkithing" on account of my routers furious blinking day and night. (8 year torrent addict speaking,)

I take extra steps like hiding SSID, MAC address filtering, and full encryption.
also, I memorized my 16 character hex password instead of writing it down anywhere.

Maybe put in a friendly message in binary?
