While setting up an internet connection for your home, a question might’ve popped into your mind — How should I name my WiFi? I mean, WiFi gives you access to everything the Internet has to offer, so naming your network might just be a proper move here! Some people go way beyond a simple name by choosing badass WiFi names or opt for WiFi name puns and wisecracks that get a giggle out of anyone nearby looking for a free-to-use network. And all that in honor of this little device!

However, an inspiration for an ingeniously funny name might be an elusive thing sometimes; we get that! That’s why we’ve created a list of some of the best WiFi names for you to choose from or to serve you as an inspiration in coming up with your own. It’s pretty common to come up with silly or cool passwords, but nobody else can know them or bye-bye privacy. So why not choose some cool WiFi names instead? 

The ones we’ve compiled in a list below will make all your neighbors crazy jealous and make them wonder why they didn’t come up with these badass WiFi names first. Whether it’s a pun, a hilarious joke, or just plain weird, these creative WiFi name ideas will surely be a hit with your guests!

    Why Should You Name Your WiFi? 

    Coming up with any great name, especially a funny one, for a tiny electronic device might seem like such a waste of time sometimes! However, there are good reasons as to why you should choose one of the best WiFi network names from this list and give them to your router: 

    • Identification — this one’s a no-brainer, really! Giving your WiFi a name allows you and your friends to find it easier;
    • Security — custom names add an extra layer of security by not disclosing router manufacturer details right away;
    • Privacy — naming your router might prevent you from accidental connections to neighboring networks;
    • Troubleshooting — a WiFi name might ease the process of diagnosing and fixing connectivity issues;
    • Organization — if you have several WiFi networks for different purposes, then naming them might make it easier to manage them;
    • Fun — and last but definitely not least, plain old fun! Choosing a badass WiFi name can be a fun process both for you and anyone who’ll see the name pop up on their WiFi list.

    See? All these WiFi quips aren’t just for granting laughs! Naming your WiFi does serve several purposes, each as important as the last, and you definitely should do it. However, for us, the fun aspect of choosing the best WiFi name ever will always come first.

    In Germany there's a provider that automatically has that wi-fi name by default. It pops up almost wherever i look for a wifi connection. In my building alone there are 3

    What Should Your Wifi Name Be?

    Well, that’s entirely up to you! However, if you didn’t find a badass WiFi name that suits your liking on this list, we have some pointers on how to come up with awesome WiFi names: 

    • Reflect on your interests — do you have any hobbies or interests you might want to incorporate into your WiFi’s name? 
    • Wordplay and puns — are there any ingenious puns you’d like to share with anyone who might see your wifi’s name on their list? 
    • Pop culture references — might there be a movie, a band, or a cartoon whose references could work as your new WiFi name?
    • Humor — jokes are always a good choice, and there surely is one that you really like, right?
    • And lastly, keep it short — opt for short names that are easy to remember and type!

    What Should You NOT Name Your WiFi?

    Now that you know the do’s of naming your WiFi, you might also be interested in learning the don’ts of picking the best WiFi network name. We have some pointers on that, too:

    • Personal information — always avoid using personal information in naming your WiFi. That includes your name, address, and any other personal info.
    • Inappropriate language — using offensive language on your WiFi name might, well, offend your neighbors. And nobody likes that!
    • Password hints — make sure you’re not giving up any details on your WiFi password in its name. 
    • Long and complicated names — such a name might be hard to remember and type when you’re in a hurry to connect. 
    • Unintentionally offensive names — be mindful of such occurrences, as your new badass WiFi name can be misunderstood or misinterpreted.

    Hopefully, answering the questions above will give you some excellent ideas for choosing your WiFi network name! But first and foremost, continue scrolling through our list of the best WiFi names ever and see if there isn’t a name that would tick all the boxes.

    I once lived in a huge high rise in Tyson's Corner, VA, and my next-door neighbors were quite vocal in the bedroom. So we renamed our wifi "We can hear you having sex."

    Three pings for the elven kings under the sky. Seven for the dwarf lords in their halls of stone. Nine for mortal men doomed to die. One for the Brian Roberts on his dark throne. In the land of Comcast where the shadows lie. One IP to rule them all. One netstat to find them. One telnet to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. In the land of Comcast where the shadows lie.
