Private license plate reg question

Original post got deleted* just looking for clear, helpful answers please.

I am looking for a personalised 5 character plate for my car and am torn between two.

On first glance of "J6 EMM" what would you assume the driver to be called, would you assume Jemma, Emma or someone's initials? Or nothing.

I am not trying to brag or "look rich" this plate is not even expensive, hence why I'm interested. I just want a short, neat looking personalised plate for my car.

Please no weird comments or toxicity as I don't want my thread deleting again. I would like to be able to look back at the answers from total strangers perspective and use them to help with making my final decision.

Thanks in advance! 🙏

Jism, unfortunately.

Seriously, again?

mynameiscalypso · 25/10/2026 20:05

I wouldn’t think it was a name looking at it but if I had to guess, I’d say Jem/Jemma/Jemima

Ok thanks for your answer 😊

Edward Manners-Major

Emma Mary McDonald

I'd assume J6 was superfluous

Does it actually matter what other people think though? It means something to you.

AtomHeartMotherOfGod · 25/10/2026 20:08

Probably Jemma at first glance, maybe Jo M if I thought about it.

Yup. Well done

Nobody cares
Nobody looks
It just shouts ego

They’re incredibly naff, I had one in 2005. It was naff even then but I was young and and cocky and loaded so didn’t care. You need to own your decisions. Who cares what anybody on MN thinks? Get your number plate if you want it & enjoy it

If you like it get it. But I would assume Jemma. Or Jem (short for Jeremy). HTH

I would think your name was Emma and you were born in June (not sure why, that’s just where my brain went).

OffTheMap · 25/10/2026 20:16

I wouldn’t recognise that plate as anything distinct, and if it was explained to me I would think it a stretch

BillieWiper · 25/10/2026 20:18

I'll say it again that it's a total waste of money and makes the person who purchased it look self regarding and foolish.

Well why I'm asking is.. if it reads to people more as a certain name, a member of my husband's family who I literally loathe is called this, with the same spelling..unfortunately it's looking like that name more than my own by the looks of it so defo be going for the other one.

Even though this one is cheaper 😭

Thanks for your answer though.

I’d think Jemma.
As you have gathered, there is a lot of negative feeling towards personal plates on this site. While not wanting one myself, both my ds and dh have one, as do the husband and wives of 2 houses in my street - and my dog walker too come to that. They are not unusual and I don’t really get the negativity here.

SleepingisanArt · 25/10/2026 20:20

Jemma or Gemma.

CaptivatingCapricorn · 25/10/2026 20:21

Well I clearly didn't care for your opinion the first time or I wouldn't have posted this question again, so you can just ignore the post and scroll 😊
