"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," tweeted KFC.

This all came about last month when KFC announced an $11,000 prize towards college tuition for the first baby born on September 9 to be named Harland.
Harland is the first name of Colonel Harland Sanders, KFC's founder.
