You know that Reddit is a treasure trove for just about anything - from serious questions about life to seeking workout advice to solving quantum physics problems to… funny WiFi names. Yup, that’s right, there’s a Reddit thread prompting people to share the funniest WiFi names they’ve seen, and well, it’s an incomparably joyous ride to read it! But what’s real joy if it isn’t shared with you, our dear readers? 

Here’s what we did - we read each and every submission mentioning the best WiFi names that people saw (or named their own routers!) in this AskReddit thread, gathered the absolute best gems, and made a list so you could enjoy this rollercoaster ride of unique WiFi names. And yeah, you might be thinking something along the lines that even the best WiFi names are just what they are - names for an electronic device - but this is where you are wrong! They are a real reflection of their owner’s soul, a pearl of wisdom, and a cracking joke for anyone who sees them. 

And it really doesn’t matter if you’re a punny names sort of a fellow or an all-about-pop-culture person, or even if you’re geeky and very proud of it; there’s always the perfect WiFi name for everyone. Still uncertain? Well, in that case, there’s only one thing left that might convince you, and it is to scroll on down below, check out the hilarious WiFi names, and, hopefully, you’ll find the very same joy as we did when reading them for the very first (and then a second, and then a third) time!

"I was in the back of a bus and the wifi name was "Say Chicken Nuggets."

I yelled "CHICKEN NUGGETS!" to the front of the bus. Someone replied "NO SPACES!"

I didn't get it at first but after like 5 minutes I was like "wait...", put in "chickennuggets" for the password and I was in."

"Guy walks into a bar and asks the bartender, 'what’s the WiFi password?'

The bartender replies, 'you need to buy a beer first.'

So the guy buys a beer, and asks again, 'what’s the WiFi password?'

The bartender replies, 'you need to buy a beer first, all lowercase, no spaces or punctuation.'"

We have a sign in our bar that says "IITYWYBMAD". Any guesses?

We had a coffee shop near our uni which had changed it's wifi password, I asked the cocky bartender what the password was and he replied "Why'd you care?". It took me a second or two I'll admit, but I did get the password correct on the first try (all lowercase, no spaces)

"When my grandma was getting her WiFi set up, we asked her what she'd say to people who asked for her WiFi. She said that she would tell them to "Go to Hell", so that's now her password. So whenever people ask for the WiFi password, she tells them, "Go to Hell"."
