Good morning.

Welcome back to

matAHR on Er, Jane

from our studio here at Radio Park in Racine.

You can always join us call or text or leave a comment on the live stream on Facebook

YouTube and what used to be Twitter breaking news about right after the 1130 news out

of Madison, Madison Police are investigating a shooting at abundant life Christian school

in Madison.

It's at 4901 East Buckeye Road, multiple injuries reported.

The scene is considered active.

You are asked to avoid the area.

Those are all the details that we have right now CNN has now picked it up.

I believe the Associated Press has picked it up as well, tragic news this morning, Madison

Police investigating a shooting at abundant life Christian school 4901 East Buckeye

Road with multiple injuries reported.

They are asking folks to stay away from that area.

The last thing they need in a situation like this are is people gawking.

It just makes their jobs that much more difficult.

I'm sure we will have an update for you at the new news and all throughout the day.

As more details become available for you.

I know our news department is jumping on this as well.

Just a reminder, you have a couple minutes left until noon to text the word lights.

L-I-G-H-T-S text the word lights via the civic media app.

It is our statewide text to win adult gift list contest.

We are playing this hour for an overnight stay at Chula Vista Resort in Wisconsin,

Dell's your next chance in the one o'clock hour with Todd Alba and then in the 4 p.m.

hour with Dom Salvia right now, though, the word is lights L-I-G-H-T-S.

You got to get the spelling right.

It won't count otherwise L-I-G-H-T-S.

There you go.

It's plural.

Lights plural.

All right, just about 1154 Kelvin.

That means it is time for this shouldn't be a thing.

If you ever see something you think should not be, send it into Greg and me.

A Jane says J-A-N-E-S-A-Y-S.

Jane says at civicmedia.us.

This is from today.com headline reads, these Ivy League baby names may grow on you.

Says baby name consultant.

Parents want a name that gives off an air of polish.

Says baby name consultant Colleen Slagan.

First of all, whoa, there's a wind up folks.

There's there are baby name consultants.

Of course there are.

I thought that was your sister and your cousin and your mother and your girlfriends.

This is someone's job.

Yeah, I'm sure they make a lot of money doing it too.

Okay, sometimes they call it the CEO test or the Supreme Court test, but baby name consultant.

Colleen Slagan says many expecting parents are looking for Ivy League names.

They want a name that gives off an air of polish that ages well and will work in any environment.

Colleen is a mom of three herself.

She says, obviously, I don't think that just because you named your kid Onyx, they can't

be a CEO.

They've changed culture has changed, but I think that's where the parents are coming from.

At their core, they want success for their children and they're hoping to manifest that

name that evokes sophistication.

Some of the Ivy League boy names, according to Mrs. Slagan, Callaway and Frazier.

You name your kid, Callaway, he's going to get beat up really early on in his life.

Callaway.

No, yeah, yeah.

Not Calvin.

Callaway.

I wasn't thinking Calvin at any point during this conversation, but you.

Whitaker.

Whitaker.

Whitaker.

Good.

Brooks.

Hmm.

Artholomew.

Richmond Beaumont Hawthorne III, well, you put a name, you put a number behind anything

and that's going to give you that you, Stetson, sure, quite a poltero named your daughter

after a piece of fruit.

You can name your son after a hat.

That goes along with this whole like Yellowstone, Bass Reeves, Landman TV show culture we have

now where guys think they're cowboys because they watch a TV show about it about cowboys.

Some of them name my son Stetson.

You live in Brookfield.

Ivy League girl names Palmer Vivian.

I like Vivian.

I think that's nice.

Vivian is like, that's, that's a beautiful name.

That's a pretty name.

No, that's a Sinclair.

That is not a girl's name.

I worked for a company called, no, not Sinclair, Kensington, Hey, that well, Wesley, which

is the name of a college.

Well, Wesley.

Well, Wesley.

Yeah.

Well, that's your automatic.

My kids are going to be named Harvard, Exeter, Brown, Wesley and Yale and MATC McKinley and

Georgina, Colleen Slagan, baby name consultant.

Also says if you want to find a quick way to create an Ivy League name for your baby,

try using a surname or your last name as a first name.

So feel free to name your child, Matt Nair Schmidt.

And we'll see how that works out for you.

Matt Nair on air Schmidt, the fourth.
