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 of, “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!
