Need clever name for wireless network

In My Humble Opinion
1

In honor of the alt-text in today’s XKCD, I need a name for my wireless network. I always get a kick out of what the anonymous people of my neighborhood name their networks. What are some clever names? I don’t know the character limit, but I believe it’s around 15 characters.

At my previous apartment, we could see a secured network called “FUCK YOU PAY ME,” which I thought was kind of funny.

Some of my personal ideas:

“mind control ray” (if 16 characters can fit)
“google dot com”
“disconnected” (imagine: “you are now connected to disconnected”)
“something” (this was my old wireless network: “you are now connected to something”)

What else?

Mine is Limozeen, bf’s is Lazor.

/Anyone?

My neighbor’s is pretty clever. They have the last name of Bacon (well, it’s spelled differently, but we needn’t get too personal) and their network is “Bacon Bits”.

I use homelan. :cool:

This reminds me (again!) that I really need to secure my home wireless network. I tried to do it when the cable was hooked up shortly after I moved in, but couldn’t get my laptop to be able to hook up. Although at least I know what I want to call mine.

How about “broadcast power”?

Mine is “Hotness”. It’s a shitty wireless-B network. You could use “the Matrix” or something dorky.

You are now connected to -

  • The Internet
  • The Suicide Hotline
  • Mind Control
  • Tubes

USDoJ

Waste Of Bandwidth?
MSN (My Stinkin’ Network)?
Riding The Waves?
Randy Air?
Seltzer Spray?
Teh Intarwebs?
No Carrier?

('80s movie references)
Falken’s maze? WOPR? Tron? MasterControlProgram?

I named the various elements of my network after characters from The Aedena Cycle. :slight_smile:

And how do I display alt text on an iPhone?

To mess with people, you could give it a name that is an IP address different from the one it actually is using. :smiley:

I’m fond of using things like “CP Server” or just plan “KiddiePix” and stuff like that. Tends to creep people out and make them stay away. :wink:

14

Call it: Boris Johnson’s Bulbous Head

You are now connected to Boris Johnson’s Bulbous Head

I thought about something like that once, then decided that any part-time hackers in the neighborhood would probably try extra hard to break into CPDVice1138.

“CP Server” would never in a million years resolve they way you wanted it to, absent the context.

(For me, anyway.)

For some reason, whenever I set up a wireless network, it’s always [noun]house.

Eg; my personal wireless network is “muddhouse.”

The one I set up for my friend Kat (who likes cats) is “cathouse.”

The one I set up for my mom is “dollhouse.” (Her nickname as kid was “Dolly.”)

17

You could call it “linksys” then put a password on it, just to raise, and then dash, the hopes of people in search of an open network.

18

linksys has worked fine for me for a number of years.

I’m boring, I know. :wink:

Ours is DEFAULT A/P ROUTER

Nobody messes around with it, not that it would do them any good!

Call it MyPenis and you’ll never get a single surfer!

on our street (or in range of my laptop) is **Howdy Neighbor! **
