I just use the same standard, boring name I got with my router 10 years ago and I change it to be the same with each new router. Because I'd rather be fucked in the ass than update my 100 devices to connect to a new wifi.

Don’t answer; script kiddies can find out where you live based on these names.
On a work trip in the mid 2010s. We were staying at a hotel located near FB/Meta HQ in Menlo Park.
Once I was in for the night, I went looking for WiFi and then I saw it:
SSID HideYoKidsHideYoWiFi

Other than BeBlessedandMoisturized, my neighbors don’t seem too creative with their WiFi names.

One that is popular in my country is Michiel de Router which is a play on the VOC man Michiel de Ruyter.
But yeah sometimes there's an FBI Surveillance Van or a "It's this one Mom!"
My old name was " Mai Waifu" and now it's "[my last name] mojo dojo casa house". No on else around me have funny names which makes me sad.
Always bad to name the wifi anything that can identify you. Used to be way more of a bad idea when it was easily cracked but back in the day if you pissed off the local nerd they could target you.

Ours was "{town} Free Wi-Fi" when we lived in the town centre for a while, just to confuse tourists. It was more of a getting stabbed area than a fun SSID name area though.

I would suggest naming your 2.4 network "use channel 1 6 or 11. Google it" it fits barely
Hide ya kids hide ya wifi
One of my faves is an over the road truck driver who named his hotspot "Abodeless".
I'm in Texas, so mine currently says "Free Porn Here". In the past it was always some snarky bullshit. My buddy's is "FBI Mobile Team" or something similar. I think he's had one about the DEA in the past.
So nothing funny or clever about Wi-Fi or networking, but definitely not normal names.
I have my 2.4 network named IsThisTheKrustyKrab and my 5 network named WutangLAN.
One neighbor joined in with Winternet is Coming, the other called theirs Childish Name.
