What is the problem in taking into the bathroom the name of God?
We are commanded to relate to G-d’s name with respect, and therefore we should not bring something which has G-d’s name written on it into the bathroom or restroom. In case of necessity, it should be covered by two covers, at least one of which is not transparent.
