There is one that is just a Cambodian person’s name. I asked neighbors about it, it turns out to be the proprietor of a nail salon in a nearby strip mall. First, I had googled it, there is a peson with exactly the same name, a very pretty young lady, who works in a bank in Pnom Penh.

There used to be one called “buttplugsgalore”. That one has disappeared, but one called “pornonly” is here now. I suspect it’s the same person.

“New England Clam Router” takes the gold.  
“DropItLikeItsHotspot” is a distant runner up.

InescapableDoom is the only amusingly named one near me at work. Probably from one of the condos on the other side of the parking lot.

I live in a semi-dense townhouse association. I can see:

Hidden Network (secured)  
Hidden Network (open)  
Illini17 (obviously a sports fan)  
The Newlywebs  
narwhal  
KUMBUYA

Mine used to be called Terok Nor, but when the GF moved in I changed it to a portmanteau of our first names.

There’s one here called Drive For Five, obviously a fellow Patriots fan. Not surprising, there’s half a dozen homes in my neighborhood flying Patriots flags.

15 within range, not including my own, and they’re all boring. Except one that seems to suggest being envious of a Hewlett Packard that’s engaged in 69ing.

Ernie  
Oscar  
BigBird

“Stately Jen Manor” is as good as it gets here. (Or maybe “was” – it’s not up right now.) Mine is the oh-so-awesome “Knet”.
