so if i'm understanding the threat model correctly here, it's based on the uniqueness of your home SSID. a privacy-preserving thing to do would be to choose an SSID that is shared by many other people, but not so many other people that your neighbours share it... is there any services that coordinate this?

The router manufacturers do, as I was once surprised when my computer was complaining about a friend's wifi -- turns out that they had the same, manufacturer-driven SSID as my mother.

  Having noted the WiGLE database I decided to give their mutual Netgear-provided SSID a spin. Over fifty thousand results. So you could do worse than just name your access point NETGEAR followed by a two-digit number. Of course, your laptop might decide lots of other networks are yours, but it won't have the password for them.
