Not so easy in Massachusetts

I just ordered an 09 Clubman S, chili red/black. The current MINI is a LY/B MCS with vanity plate BMBLEB, but that wouldn't be appropriate for the new one. So I just checked with the MA RMV, and, in part, here are their rules:
No more than 6 characters;
The first two characters must be letters;
No spaces, punctuation, or special characters;
Numbers can only be used at the end of the string of characters;
The letters "I." "O," "Q," and "U" can ONLY be use as part of a word that is clearly defined and correctly spelled.

A question asking the significance of the characters must be answered.

You can't apply for them over the internet; only in person.

And the application fee is $50, plus even more every year to renew it.

And one more irritant: it'll take 12-14 weeks to get new plates.

OUCH... sorry to hear that...

It's about $250 in Ontario for vanity plates, no extra every year, and we can have up to 8 characters... only 6 if we want a graphic on the plate too.

Not sure about the numbers and letters thing...

Well is it your car or his?

If it is truly your car get what you want and to heck with him.

BTW FWIW I think Jemma is a good name whether it has significance or not.

This is mine below. I also considered 'WEEONE', 'LILBIT' and my second favorite "LOGUVNA" (I may still change it to that one).
