The only semi-interesting one near me is "Bakedbeans". There are also some Spark, Trustpower and Vodafone ones with numbers after them. But perhaps the most curious is "OPTUS"... maybe someone brought a base station across the ditch.

Pretty boring at home now, just use 'Access Denied', has comically confused a couple of people.

Flat way back when we used 'Pretty Fly for a Wi-Fi' for giggles.

FYI posting your SSID can lead to you posting your address…

Services like Wigle map public wifi data and make it easily searchable.

I immediately looked at the thread name then thought about these projects, like Google WiFi SSID mapper.

 

Not many unique names in my area.

At one stage we had a neighbour with their wi-fi called "Love Shack". Sometime later one popped called "Rock Lobster". Sensing a theme here I changed ours to "Planet Claire"...
