Thursday

There are a couple of hundred extended family members in my local area, and my last name is well known in my area...I've seen plates with my last name (one as a standalone name, and others that incorporate my last name).

But I wouldn't do it...because people are crazy and you never know who might be your enemy and have a beef with you! Therefore, I don't feel a need to flash my surname on my license plate.
