- Each person can only submit one name idea.
- Names can be no more than thirty characters, including letters and spaces.

By the was, if you're wondering if Lizzo had any response to having a snowplow named after her: she loved it! She is a Minnesota native after all. She mentioned it several times on social media and was super excited about it all. How could she not be?
