The Official WTF Thread

[Valpo Cardinal Fan]

The restrooms themselves are relatively tame, as is the Taiwanese-cafe inspired menu. Magic Restroom is open 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Valet is free at the Four Seasons Plaza.

I'm kind of disappointed they didn't do something different with the restrooms. Such as make them look like a normal restaurant with toilets, urinals, sinks and hand dryers hidden within the decor. At least then you would know when you were actually in the restroom.

That's odd. I'm helping coach a soccer team, and two of the kids are named Atticus and Finn. I was thinking, "What's up with that?" Now I know.

Good to see Django Reinhardt and Imogen Holst get their due for their great musicianship. Lots of fans of Amelia Bedelia, too, I see.

I think that list is bogus.

Nameberry tallies which names attract the most views among the 14 million page views for all of the names on its site. The Nameberry popularity list measures which names parents are considering for their children in the future.

So, not the names people are actually picking, but the ones the users of this website happen to be browsing.

Here's the actual U.S. top 10 for 2012:

What? No Kolten, Shane or Adron?

My youngest is named Dane in honor of Dane Iorg.

[stlouie_lipp]

Kolten is trending...

My youngest is named Dane in honor of Dane Iorg.

My 2yr old's name is Camden. Settled on that after my wife nixed using Saint. Thought that would go well with the last name Lewis.

I guess that's better than Hoboken or Newark.
