ArchivesSatanic DMV?
Today was the last day I could legally eke out of my Honda's North Carolina plate, so I gritted my teeth and went down to the courthouse for a Kintuckie one.
To my surprise, they were as pleasant and efficient (really) as the DMV folks had been in NC, and everything went well until I said I wanted a personalized plate just like the old one. No problem, she said, but then frowned at the DAIVIDH on the NC registration. "Whoops, we can do SIX letters max. Would you like another spelling or some other word?"
A swift vision of 250,000 miles of my trusty vanity plate over the last 10 years swam before my eyes. Should I hang it all out and go for NANAEA? PAVLOS? "Nope. Just give me the unleaded one".
Sigh. I'm now 452 GLC (Madison County) instead of DAIVIDH. Do not bend, fold, spindle, or mutilate...

I wonder what would happen if you (txt)
You got a plate saying: DAIVID and then after you had mounted it on your car someone wrote an H on the plate with a water proof and light resistant ink or paint of some kind?

If I did it so it looked good, I'd probably have to answer to Sheriff Dude. The local constabulary here are not amused by attempts to convincingly alter your number plate.

Did you get Patty or Selma Bouvier to serve you at the DVM? I'll bet you reeeeeally could've gotten that 7-letter license plate. ;)
Like PAVLOS, I'm going to present you with a consolation prize, which you can have stenciled on your car instead of the usual "Rude Boy" -- along with the shotgun that I hope you're displaying in your rear window, now that you live in Kintuckie.
Anagramming only your first and last names, here's your new Goth alias: "Vladimir Harshlad".

Why, thank you! And, of course, I'm sure you already knew that we Satanists prefer the ears 'n' tail of the *matador*. ;)
You shouldn't encourage me, Daividh... Here are Goth names for the rest of your family:
"Jennifer M..."="Mrs. Janna Hellfire"
"Ian M..."="Lash'r Animal"
"Ian P. M..."="Sir Hal Napalm"
"Laura Ruth M..."="Marla-Lu Ultraharsh"
-- Nanaea

Also note that Daividh, filtered through the *moron* option of *dialectizer* yields Daibidh. We can therefore assume that the evolution from Daibidh to Daividh is more than merely linguistic.

A very nice all-round effort, Mr P. However, I think Nan's "Vladimir Harshlad" is the one for me! It will roll off the tongue nicely at the techno club, or at the weekly Goth tete-a-tetes Friday nights down at the parkin deck.
Scuse me while I run down to the mall for a black cape, some white makeup, spiked jewelry, an' a box of Jello to tint the (thinning) hair.
