Never noticed this before, but my ethernet's name and the wifi's name are not the same. Should this be the case??

Are you talking in windows?
if so then no. Windows names it when you first connect a device to it based on its own guidelines.
You can change it if you want in windows if it bothers you but it means changing the registry.

Does that mean some other user has somehow accessed my computer or I've been hacked?? Do you know how to delete it? I've tried but haven't been able to. Thank you!!!!
