Choosing a baby name is one of the first major decisions parents make for their child. It is a good idea to consider and sometimes a bunch of family politics come into play.

KFC's Colonel Sanders.

Baby Harland Naming Contest for a big prize of $ 11,000 towards college tuition. To enter, parents had their name and daughter, and they were born in September 9 (Colonel's birthday was Sept. 9, 1890).

On Tuesday, KFC shared a photo of the adorable little girl that won the contest via Twitter.

Do not worry, her parents did not name her The Colonel. She was, however, named after Harland, after Kentucky Fried Chicken's founding father, Colonel Harland Sanders.

That's right, she's a little girl Colonel – just like Reba McEntire.

When the contest was first posted, tweeters had mixed reactions.

Some people thought it was terrible to be a child for money and publicity, regardless of how pretty the name may be.

And many people wrote about how they had a child named Harland, were named Harland themselves or would like to change their name to Harland for the right price.

On Tuesday, when KFC released its official announcement about the tiny person who will lead the generations of chicken-loving entrepreneurs to come, tweeters continue to disagree on this cause for celebration … or just plain wrong.

Some people do not know who they are, but they will not be able to explain their namesake (or maybe just avoid the topic altogether).
