My conceited brother owns a Honda Accord EX and until it was stolen a little while ago, the plate read NVMYEX. Now, I think people would think it meant ex as in gf and not EX but he swears people with Hondas would know.
My sister works at a tag and title place and when I was renewing my tags she thought it would be great to play a little joke on me. She ordered license plates for me that said MANEATR which is my oh so endearing nickname given to me by friends. Needless to say, she returned them without being put on my car and I now have WHTAJWL. I did however get to keep one of the other plates and I can’t wait to have to explain that to a future boyfriend or even my kids!!
I recently saw a Jeep Grand Cherokee (not my own) with a lift kit, big all-terrain tires, brush guards, spotlights, and a good coating of mud with the license plate

A friend had a Buick Skylark. Her plate read OdeToA (Ode to A Skylark. Wordsworth. Or somebody.)
I have always had personalised plates. “Xryspcs” (back in the Rayban Wayfarer days.) “Painty” “Paintt” “IPaint” on my work trucks. “ZZZoom” on my old Porsche, :). “Dude” on an old Caddy I used to have.
I strongly considered getting a plate that said OONER, but decided against it when I realized that not a single person that I know in real life would ever understand it. So I just got my first name, CONOR. Sure, it’s boring, but it was available and I just couldn’t pass it up.
