Clever names for a wifi network?

[Lvl 2 Expert]

Well then you're in exactly the target age range of the Offspring.

Yet 15-20 years too late.

They're still awesome for those of us who grew up with them, thankyouverymuch.

Yet 15-20 years too late.

I googled them and found 'The Kids Aren't Alright.'
The music was alright, but the music video was definitely in the same trippy weirdness spectrum as They Might Be Giants and Radiohead.

Their other two big hits you might have heard before are Self Esteem and Why don't you get a job?. Not as artsy/trippy/experimental on the clip as The Kids, music style wise pretty similar to Pretty Fly.

No real funny wifi names with those though.

Shelob.
The Widow Of The Web.
Aragog

There are a few film spiders.

Edit: a few more

Recently, my wifi modem decided to stop working, so I got a new one. Currently, it is called 'CleverName', but I am trying to come up with a better name. Any help would be greatlyappreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Why Fie Foe Dum

Really, I think that just coming up with any phrase which is amusing to you will work out well enough. I'm assuming you want something witty or punny, since "Do Your Homework First" might be your first thought anyways.

My family uses scifi computer names for our wifis. When I was younger, my home wifi was called GLaDOS. My dad's wifi is called EPICAC. Mine was called Joshua for a bit, then when I got a new router, I named it Very Little Gravitas Indeed.

[ChapelCanaan]

Bill Wi the Science Fi is my favorite.

No More Mr. WiFi

Wi Believe I can Fi

I just named my Night Vale Community Radio :/

[SlyGuyMcFly]

No not that one the other one.

[Mike Miller]

My neighbor named their WiFi "meth lab"

[Avilan the Grey]

How about "Why Fi"?

[Bastian Weaver]

Cerebro! Cyberno! Multivac! Master Mold!
Yeah, I'm an X-Men fan.

[Avilan the Grey]

I assume "Skynet" is taken?

[Maryring]

*insert fictional character here* is my wifi.

Because what better way to announce to the whole world who your favourite fictional character is?

[BootStrapTommy]

Free Public Wifi
If you enjoy "your mom" jokes, you can surely build something from that.

I named my last Wifi "Shangri-La", as in "mythical place you will never get to".

A friend of mine named it "Rohan" and was delighted when he one day noticed a neighbour had renamed his to "Gondor".

In university, our wifi had the default name, but we did set the password to "They'reTakingTheHobbitsToIsengard". Which is over 160 bits of entropy, if I remember correctly...

I change my network name work every 3 months or so (**** neighbors keep trying to connect) here's some of the names I've used:

-FBI Surveillance Van #947
-CLICK HERE FOR FREE VIRUSES!!!
-Babe Click Here For Internet (This on was inspired by one of my girlfriends, who somehow was worse with computers than I am.)
-Bring Beer and Women to 31C (Made this on for my grandpa )
-Stop Trying to Connect Dumbasses (Neighbors)
-God Knows You Steal Internet (Niehbors Again)
-Titanic Syncing

[Adderbane]

I've seen:
LukeIAmYourRouter
I Pronounce You Man and Wifi
Roomba Hive

[Objection]

WifiAmGroot?

[scalyfreak]

One of our neighbors has named their wifi "viruswarning", but aside from that there is a sad lack of creative network naming in my neighborhood.

Mine was Holodeck #6 for a while.

[Objection]

I suppose really it depends on what you're into.

You really need one named AM.

[Sharoth]

One of our neighbors named theirs "Vault 101".

[Baby Gary]

HAL 9000? that would work

[warmachine]

I once saw a network named 'wi fi fo fum'. Meh.

My preference is a name that is associated in my mind with a specific word or phrase that can be used as a password. The connection shouldn't be based on popular culture, but some incident in your own past.

This is correct; passwords for example should not be Personal, that's the standard advice. The trick of course is to make them personal to you but not to anyone else. That old trick of children's names or pet names or... fine. But can they guess the name of the first lego model you paid for with your own money as a kid? Can they guess the breed of the horse that your grandmother's neighbour had that he let you ride on when you were six? Etc.

Yup. That makes "6thgradecamp" or "2ndgradeteacher" or "Scoutmaster" good names for a wifi. Because you will never forget the associated password.

My mother's wifi has a name that gives the password to all her children - and nobody else.
