    I named mine wifi-g@[mydomain].com - figure if someone wants in to my secured network, they can ask. (I used to run a unsecured network til I moved house next door to an apartment complex.)

    I also started spoofing the name,channel, and encryption style of the routers from the High School across the street. As well, I changed the name of my Bluetooth devices' names to "behindyou" "iseeyou", etc.

    Yeah, not creative, but I also don't broadcast it so none of you will ever see it anyway.

    Mine just has the boring name of 'home'. I wasn't clever enough like one of my neighbors to use 'CTU'...

    I called my net "Desilu". My machine is "Lucy". The wife's is "Ethel". "Fred" is the network drive. The kid's computer is called "Mrs. Trumble". You can figure that last one out for yourselves.
