For me it could mean..
James Alexander (my name's)
Number is meaningless.
Last three could be my, wife's and sons first initials....

I got an embarrassing plate on my Volvo which came on it when I bought it.

I really wanted to get rid of it but couldn't be bothered spending money to remove it so just put up with it.

3 years later I still get mocked but I don't even care anymore

@OP, just put up with it till you no longer care

I can surrender it for free, so I might as well

Volvo S40 T5....Owned originally by a David Horder.

Certainly not a surname name I'd ever be proud of putting on a number plate.

I always read it as S40 WHORE

The plate on my mrs car ends in YAG, looks funky in a mirror.

I thought my private plate was great until someone pointed out it looks a bit like the rude description of a black person, better be careful where I drive.

I once saw one which ended in "KKK". There was a black guy driving

Private plates only look good if it's a 'L33 ABC' old style plate, 'LL03 ABC' new style plate just look crap in my opinion.

I once bought a car that had a private plate, it was T12 UMO, think the guys surname was Truman. I got the cars original plate put back on and sold the private plate, think I made a few quid if I remember rightly.
