My one router has 3 nets.
TheShire: my 5GHz N WPA2 secured and private net.
MinasTirith: my G secured and private net for older slower devices. (my house is on the top of a hill)
Osgiliath: the outlying, WEP net, isolated from the other two and with only Internet access -- I allow guests to use it with a simple passphrase. Guests can't access MinasTirith nor TheShire.

My college apartment complex shared wireless on a network called BorkenNet. The running joke was that it was always borken.

All of my flatmates and I are from EU countries, and our router is in our hallway, and so it's at a central point in our flat, and it's in a place where we all meet together. So naturally, in the spirit of the EU, we named the room as well as the router/WiFi connection 'Brussels'.
