Naming Your Wireless

From my study I can pick up about six different wireless networks. They all have simple names: the name of the router (good old Belkin54g is always up and always open), the street, the owner. But in West Hollywood that is not the way they roll. How about fuckyougetyourownnetwork, or my favourite, Lesbian_Dildo_Vagina_Party? Is this a cultural thing? In all my time in the UK I've never seen a network with names like those. On the other hand I am pleased to see one of the networks is named after me. What are the networks around you called?

Mine is named 'not found'. And I do keep it open.
