For the boys, the list was Michael, Daniel, Joshua, David, Justin, Matthew, Anthony, Christopher, Joseph and Nicholas. Now, we all make fun of celebrities for naming their children stupid things (Pilot Inspektor? Moxie Crimefighter?), but there is an upside to having a relatively uncommon name - people will remember it, versus being one of legion of same-named kids in a playground, office, or school.

Gothamist loves stories about public bathrooms, so we got a kick out of today's NY Times feature on the two month, two-hundred grand restoration of Bryant Park's beautiful public bathroom. The bathroom, built in 1907, reopened today, and boy, does it sound amazing:

The Baths of Caracalla it is not, but the new interior has grand 10-foot coffered ceilings, mosaic tiles, a crown molding of painted wood, illumination from brushed stainless-steel wall sconces, indirect cove lighting, a wainscoting of mosaic vines and flowers, mirrors framed in cherry wood and, yes, sinks and a baby-changing table capped with Bianco Verde marble from India.

Speaking of wealthy New Yorkers, the NY Sun has an article about the high number of twins terrorizing pedestrians in their double wide strollers - and the mothers who have the fertility treatments to have them - on the sidewalks of New Yorker. Gothamist would just like to say that before twins were fashionable, we were right there.

in the cases, surfaced last year in the NYC area. The city's Health Department has been trying to step in, even considering banning the practice, to uproar from both those in the ultra-Orthdox community and those outside it. The Mayor has stepped in recently, having a conversation with rabbis and the health department. Since the issue is so complicated, as it begs the question whether religious rituals should continue at the expense of public health (especially when a baby is involved), some wonder if the Mayorsaved this controversial issue for after the election. Well, this topic certainly is as sexy as affordable housing or the public school system, but it's way way grosser.

The sad fact of life in the city is that there are robberies. But when you hear about a robber turning a gun on a baby, somehow the crime becomes even more reprehensible. During a morning walk across Central Park, Catherine Collins, with her 3-month baby in tow, was mugged for her engagement and wedding rings. Little did the robber know that the blinging 5-carat ring that may have attracted his attention was a fake Collins bought when she got too fat to wear her real one (the other ring was a real $7,000 Tiffany eternity band). After taking the rings and pointing the gun at the baby, the robber yelled for Collins to go.

Does this mean we're going to see more babies in Union Square? If so, will all adults in the area start with their silly faces and baby noises? Gothamist is ready with our permanently silly faces. Will this mean a baby renaissance or the East side of Union Square? We have an idea! Piggybacking off the success of the Babies "R" Us location, open up a day care center next door that would cater to the parents who could shop and then go across the park for lunch or early dinner.

The only baby that seems to have done okay when left alone was Moses, and those were extenuating circumstances. If there's one thing New Yorkers don't stand for, it's babies without their mommies or daddies, because we love accessories!
