When a customer phones into us their top request is a number plate that resembles their name or has their initials.

Self identification and pride in your name is something I’m sure we can all relate with, even if when you where younger and hated your name and wanted to be called Batman or Princess Jasmine.

As with everything in our world names can go in and out of fashion, and new parents always want to stay ahead of the trend, especially when it comes to celebrity parents who like to grace their children with such names as: Pilot Inspektor, Apple and Sage Moonblood….

However our tastes seem to be rather simpler than theirs and the most popular names from 2011 have recently been released showing that traditional names seem to be on a comeback.

Harry and Amelia were the most popular first names given to babies born in England and Wales in 2011, according to the Office for National Statistics, now this may be because of Little Mix and One Directions XFactor fame, but at least you’re not naming your child after a fruit!

Other popular names to arise where, George, Jacob and Ava, all lovely names that we think would look twice as good on a number plate. We look forward to selling a fleet of Harry and Amelia personalised number plates in the future, when they want to show pride in their name.

Birthday boy Steve will be celebrating in style no doubt with all his celebrity chums, who include co star of ‘three men and a baby’ and’ three men and a little lady’, Tom Selleck, the lucky man! We hope Tom buys you something nice and if he’s stuck for ideas for next year he can always come to us to buy you your very own Personalised plate!

We have a lot of superstitions in our culture, don’t walk under ladders, seven years bad luck if you smash a mirror and the number 13 is just unlucky in every way!

But would the number 13 stop you from buying a new car? From March 1st 2013 to August 31st 2013 the new 13 plate will be issued by the DVLA, but fears that drivers will find the 13 plate too unlucky to have on their vehicle may be given the chance to avoid it.

New plans being discussed by the DVLA could let superstitious Motorists have their vehicles registered as a 62-plate effectively keeping it the same as vehicles registered from September 1st, 2012 to February 28, 2013.

Under the DVLA’s proposal number plates would then revert back to the usual pattern – so in other words 63 registration plates will be introduced from September 1, 2013.

So would the number 13 put you off purchasing a personalised plate or brand new vehicle? Or should we throw caution to the wind and forget out superstitions?
