What's the point of having another router?
I once bought a router to use for my internet when I moved into my new house just to find out that it "wasn't compatible" with Verizon's service. I still have it (because I'm terrible about returning things). Is there any point in keeping it? Is there anything fun or interesting that I could do with it?

If you're not going to hook it up to the internet (bridging, access point, etc.), name it something funny or provocative for the neighbors.
For example, I live in a college student neighborhood with a lot of Chinese students. I have an old router that I'm going to use the network name 六四屠殺 which is Chinese for the June Fourth Massacre (the Tiananmen Square Massacre). It's a term banned on the Chinese internet.
I feel like a good name around me would be "FreePublicWifi". Can you get in trouble for naming it something like "[city name]WifiNetwork"?
Yes, usually falls under impersonation.
Why? seems unnecessarily rude.
Seems pretty based to spread freedom of knowledge and history in spite of an oppressive, authoritarian regime.
