    Nebuchadnezzar. It has an air of nobility about it and no-one would be able to spell it, ever.

      Don’t do it! Novelty license plates for that name are always sold out. I’ve been trying to find one for 30 years.

        I was visiting someone at Yale, and as we were walking through town I saw a car with an actual BORT license plate.

        I was the only one who got a kick out of it though.

        It was 2 phones ago, so not sure where the picture lives these days, but I have proof somewhere!

    I have an online handle (not this one) that is kinda close to my real name. Two letters change it from “10% of white girls born in North America between 1975 and 2000 have this name” to a name I’ve only seen attached to one real person before.

      That was my name back in Japan. Had to change it because it would be too easy to vandalize, people could just scratch off the P and turn it into an F or whatever
