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.'"

"I was driving around Europe the summer of 2008 and the only way I had to access the internet was through internet cafes or connecting my laptop to random open wifi's. One night I parked in a somewhat secluded area to sleep and got horny so I grabbed my laptop and did a wifi search. Found one at it was named "Sei nicht hier" meaning "Don't stay here" or "Don't be here"..

Noped really fast away from that spot..."

I like to name my WIFI after, well, killer robots mostly. The first was HAL9000. I don't recall the exact order but it has also been Cylon, skynet, Cyberdyne Systems, Gort, Agimus, and currently it is Weyland-Yutani Corp. I am pretty sure there were one or two more in that vein. Once I had a couple of old wifi routers I wasn't using and I had several of them all broadcasting some of those SSID's at the same time. Funny thing is I just installed a new router, new SSID and now I read this post. Inspired.
