You could just put some piece of contact info in your ESSID?

Two problems with that: 1) You and your WiFi don't stay as anonym as with wifis.org 2) The "neighbor" seeing eg an email as a SSID get's no explanation why you did this

I don't think it takes a doctor of human psychology to work out why an e-mail address has been used as an SSID.
