The best one I’ve seen in my neighborhood is “MeatSweats”.

Ya’d think so what with the all night karaoke fests, but we’re rural lake residential -  
it’s the burly dude who trolls chicks for sex on his red trihull - or his youth pastor next door?

I use Semper\_FiWi.

I can also see Big Creek, Control Room, cynet82a, Dad\_Net, and ORBI39.

All those “Skynets” get boring. That was \*far \*from the first computer system to take over the world.

I use “Colossus”, but I do leave out “The Forbin Project”. It wasn’t the first, either, of course.

Berchtesgaden - which I find slightly ominous.  
IAEA - only slightly less ominous.  
HAL9000 - hmmm.  
IronCurtain - What’s up with my neighbors?

Nothing very interesting in my neighborhood. The only one trying to be creative is called “NSA\_PRISM\_van”. My own network is “Cerberus”, after the guardian to the gates of the Underworld. Everything else is just a bunch of default names, a couple of printers, and one called “UpstairsOffice”.

My Neighbors are boring.

Mine used to be “Hive Mind Pod 7” for a while

Now it’s “My neighbors have lame SSIDs”

No one has accepted the challenge yet

I’ve seen two that bear mentioning.

WiFitit (Took me a few minutes to figure this one out.)

CAP811 (Miraculously, I got the reference immediately.)
