I went with it_hertz_when_IP but have yet to see anyone with similar naming...
I went with 8HzWAN_IP for the same effect.

Enterprise-D
Borg Cube
Deep Space Nine
Federation Satelite or something

I wish to name it in a funny way. But there is a ton of devices that I have connected over the wifi and I dont have enough willpower to reconnect them all once I change the name.

One of my friend's neighbors named their wifi "is this the Krusty Krab?"
Of course he named his, "no, this is Patrick"
It’s not super creative but I named my mom’s network “The Internet” so when she asks for help with getting online I can ask if she’s tried connecting to The Internet.
Obi W-Lan Kenobi is mine
Ive seen "FBI Surveillance Van" a few times.
I've been using "Riri Wifi et Loulou" for more than a decade. It's a pun on the french names of Huey, Dewey and Louie (it's supposed to be Riri Fifi et Loulou).
In my last apartment I had mine set to "FBI Surveillance Van 9" and a neighbor set theirs to "Suspicious Drug Den". Before that several of us changed to variations of "Library Wifi Ext #" to pick on the Librarian next door. Outside of those, my favorite was "Need a Wifi password?" With the password set to "WhyNotZoidberg?" I had the meme printed on the fridge and everything.
No community in jokes, but mine used to be "MailOrderWifi" and I had a neighbor who's wifi name was "OnlyGaysStealWifi" with no password
I'd steal it (using a VPN, of course) because I'm secure in my masculinity. Those that would be deterred by that are - in Gov. Walz's terminology - "weird."
I haven’t seen collaboration like that but some good ones I’ve seen are ‘we can hear you having sex’ and ‘the gang gets WiFi’
Pretty Fly for a WiFi
Pretty Fly for a Wi5
Mine has been “WiFi Art Thou Romeo?” for 20+ years
Years ago my local firefighters were setting up a wifi setup that went across the town for them to use, so we named our wifi after theirs, about a week later we get a knock on the door asking us to change it because the firefighters around me couldn't connect to their network.
Not sure how they found out it was us, I think someone ratted us out.
Not really all that hard to track down simply using signal strength measurements.
