Top 25 funny wi-fi names
Everyone is familiar with the routine: You pull out your laptop or mobile in a new city or random place — coffee shop, hotel lobby or maybe your in-laws' guest bedroom — and start looking for free wi-fi networks to hijack.
It's one of the slightly stealthy joys of modern living. In response to this era of wi-fi promiscuity, an interesting trend has emerged in wi-fi naming conventions. Rather than go with the default network assignation, people are customizing their wi-fi name, knowing full well that friends, neighbors and passersby are scanning for free wi-fi access all the time. Apparently, this has been fashionable in college dorms for years, with most names unfit for print in a family digital culture blog.
Click around enough, and you'll find plenty of websites, blogs and Twitter threads dedicated to the art of the funny wi-fi name. We've applied our patent-pending, proprietary algorithm to the issue and hereby present Digital Crave's First Annual Top 25 Funny Wi-Fi Network Names, with hyperlinked annotations as necessary.
