If you’ve ever fancied naming your child after Colonel Sanders but are facing resistance from your partner, here’s some exciting news. KFC is running a clever promotion that just might sway them. The fast-food giant is offering a generous $11,000 contribution to your baby’s future college fund if you’re willing to name your newborn “Harland,” after the Colonel himself (his full name was Harland David Sanders).
Celebrate the Colonel’s Birthday
To celebrate his 128th birthday, KFC is encouraging parents who are expecting on September 9, 2018, to consider this unique name. While “Harland” hasn’t graced the list of the top 1,000 baby names for boys in the U.S. since 1918 (with only 155 given that name that year), it could be a fun choice for a girl, or a way to kickstart your little nugget’s college savings—especially when tuition rates may reach around $3 million a year by the time they enroll.
Contest Details
If you’re due in September and think the name Harland sounds appealing, be sure to check out KFC’s website for contest details. Although you can’t submit your entry until October 9, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with the process ahead of time. They even have a practice question set up for you to try.
Once baby Harland arrives (hopefully with a drumstick in hand), you’ll have 30 days to enter the contest. If your little one is the first Harland born on September 9, KFC will deposit a cool $11,000 into a college fund, inspired by their famous eleven herbs and spices.
A Tribute to Colonel Sanders
As a KFC representative mentioned, “Colonel Sanders was an entrepreneur who turned his life around in his 60s by founding Kentucky Fried Chicken. Helping Baby Harland with a college donation is a fitting tribute to his legacy.” However, if you’re the second Harland born on that day, you might miss out on the cash—but at least you’ll have a memorable tale to tell about your unique name!
