Be the first to name your child "Quinoa" & win a $10,000 gift card to BJ's restauran

http://www.bjsrestaurants.com/promos/baby-quinoa/official-rules%20 Wonder how many contestants they will get?

Oh my goodness. Seriously?

Oh dear. Why?!

Only [name_f]Bethesda[/name_f] have enough of my respect to do that sort of thing (Dovahkiin, anyone?)! …I hope nobody takes them up on that. I don’t even think you can eat that much in a lifetime.

I like the name Quinoa but I tend to like unusual/unused word names. I’ve heard much worse “real” names. Plus, [name_m]Kale[/name_m] has become a name so, contest or not, it’s only a matter of time before Quinoa is used.

What?! First of all, why in the world would you name your baby a name to win a prize?! And secondly, if I was going to do it, why would I do it for such an awful prize? If I got a million bucks, maybe, or even I might consider it for $10,000 that I could spend in any way I want. But I have to give my poor kid the name Quinoa and only get $10,000 gift card for one restaurant?!

[name_m]KEEN[/name_m]-wah doesn’t even sound that appealing, anyway. I guess you could go with the nns [name_u]Quin/name_u or [name_f]Noa/name_f, but omgoodness. Why are businesses promoting bad baby naming?!

Okay, this is ridiculous and I really hope no one enters, seriously, you’d have to pay me a lot more than a restaurant gift-card to persuade me into naming my baby something weird, and depending on the name, I might even pass that up!

[name_m]How[/name_m] awful. I think it’s downright cruel for B.J.s to tempt people to give their child a ridiculous name. Would any of them want to be named Quinoa?

You know what’s sad? It will definitely have a lot of contestants, because food.

You all know that tumblr with the imaginary well-dressed toddler daughter, Quinoa?

[name_u]Truth[/name_u] is stranger than fiction…

I really wonder what BJ’s motive for this is. It would be one thing it it was pronounced like it looks but it isnt. I really hope no one does this

This is the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life. I mean, I guess you could always change it after you get the check for ten grand, but I would feel ridiculous when my kid someday asked me why their name was that of a grain for their first month of life. Awkward!

So much is wrong with this. Firstly BJ’s isn’t that great of a restaurant. Secondly, lame prize for a lifetime of teasing. And thirdly, if someone is thinking naming their child something as stupid as Quinoa just for a gift card to a restaurant chain then they should reconsider having kids. Cuz seriously.

You could pronounce it kwin-oh-ah and call her [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]. Haha but seriously, I’ve seen worse! I guarantee there are already babies named Quinoa, and they didn’t even get a prize!

Probably publicity and attention. As some say, any publicity is good publicity.

I know a kid named Quinoa, pronouned [name_u]Quin[/name_u]-oh-a. It’s a bit odd, and he was named this way before the contest took place.
