Skynet! is mine
There is one in downtown St Louis called ** Tornado Warning Network**. There is also a non-passworded called Incognito.
Ditto, actually.

My geek brother-in-law calls his “The Collective.” I want to call ours “The Matrix” or something totally geeky like that. I also like Skynet. Ours is currently called TraJim1 - bo-ring.
Mine is currently called Snowden’s Secret.
Mine is PEBKAC. I doubt my neighbors are geeky enough to know what it means.
(For you non geeks, PEBKAC = Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair)
I once hopped on one that was something like
**
I<3ABORTION!** at a college dorm, though I stayed away from AllTrafficMonitoredAndLogged
I named my Dexter Laboratories. A bridged router is called Didi’s room. I like cartoons. But I think that after reading this I’ll have to change the names to “A series of tubes” and “Senator Steven’s Office”.
How about My Little Network (a la My Little Pony)? No? Okay. Back to the drawing board.
This seems like a lot of work for something no one is ever going to see, isn’t it? I mean it’s not like we broadcast our SSIDs. Well, we don’t, right? Right?
Enjoy,

Or John Malkovich’s Head.
I’ve found that people tend to stay away from networks that use the word Carnivore, as in CARNIVORE_SPYNODE.
Even if it’s not broadcast, a client will usually show what it is once you’re connected. Usually hovering over the system tray icon will show stats like SSID, connection speed, strength, channel number.
Ha! Me too!
I’m boring. Mine is just my last name. And my neighbor’s is her first name.
Right now, mine is LindyLand, as my mother (Lindy) set it up. When I move, I think I’ll name it porn.
“You are now connected to porn.”
Yeah, seems like a good choice.
The Swedish family across the street has Swedish Network. The family next door is the same as their last name. Mine is NETGEAR.
Why do we want to discourage other people from linking to our wireless network?
Various reasons.
Bandwidth. If you’re streaming a movie from netflix and they’ve got [Fileshare App] running you might be finding pauses and dropouts in your movie.
Legal. If they’re running [Fileshare App] and the RIAA decides to sue, it’s going to track back to your IP address.
Legal. They use their system for hacking, virus distro, other antisocial activities, yep, still tracks back to your IP.
Legal. They go surfing kiddy porn and get into an FBI honeypot. Your IP again.
Money. Many ISPs are working on implementing usage caps. You really want to pay for freeloading neighbor’s downloads, even if they are legal?
The list goes on.
