KFC pays college tuition for newborn named after Colonel Sanders

I saw this when they were running the promotion. These parents did not do a bad job naming the little girl.
College isn’t getting any cheaper, but newborn Harland Rose will have a little help easing that burden in 18 years.
Kentucky Fried Chicken paid $11,000 for her college tuition because her parents named her after their late founder, Colonel Harland David Sanders.
The name Harland has long since plummeted in popularity. In fact, the last time it cracked the top 1,000 names for American baby boys was nearly seven decades ago, USA Today reported.
This year, it came in at 5,477, according to BabyCenter.com.
That simply wasn’t good enough for KFC. The fast food chain started the Baby Harland Naming Contest in August that would reward the prize money to the first baby Harland born on Sept. 9, Col. Sanders’ birthday.
Eight-pound, one-ounce Harland just happened to be the winner.
“I’m as pleased as pumpkin punch to announce the winner of our Baby Harland Naming Contest and the Harland who will be ushering in an all-new generation of Harlands, little Harland Rose,” KFC posted on Instagram.
Harland will be the child’s legal name, but her parents will call her Harley.

These parents need to be careful. In 14 years NT74 will be searching for her Facebook pictures.

What a horrible name for a female.

Look at her, by age 10 she will weigh 200 pounds.

This little girl is just lucky it wasn't Popeye's who was running this promotional.

Harland is a cute name, not common, and not Brayden, Jaydon, La-Uh, etc. It's a great sounding name. I don't see the problem.

$11k might get her a semester at JUCO by the time 2036 rolls around.

Knew a Harland in HS, she was named after a family member. She went by Landi. Smokin!

That seems wildly optimistic.
