Top Ten Name Based 74 Registrations
September is all but upon us which means a few things are happening. First, it means that summer is drawing to a close, which is sad news all around. It also means that the kids are back in school, so, you know, swings and roundabouts!
For motorists and private reg lovers, September marks the release of the 74 number plate series. These “millennium style” registrations are suitable for any vehicles manufactured on or after September 1st, 2024, which is exciting news for people wanting to add the cherry on top of their brand new vehicle.
To give you inspiration for your new private registration, this article will list the top ten name-based number plates from the 74 release. We’ll also hand out some honourable mentions related to surnames and rarer forenames. Let’s jump straight in!
1. AG74 THA
The name Agatha is becoming more popular in the UK, partly because of Marvel’s Disney+ show, WandaVision. For those lucky enough to bear this fantastic name, you may have struggled to find a suitable number plate in the past.
However, the 74 series has meant that AG74 THA has been released - a great Agatha number plate available to buy online for just over £2,500 in the National Numbers Summer Sale.
2. SH74 UNA
Like Agatha, Shauna number plates are hard to come by, but the 74 release has led to the release of SH74 UNA, which is a dream for people donning this name. Using the 4 as an A to great effect, any Shaunas out there looking for a new vehicle have a great chance to spell their name on their car registration.
3. SH74 YNE
Shayne is another name that can be tricky to spell with a private registration. This is largely down to the spelling of Shayne, which is a bit longer than Shane, which is difficult to fit onto many number plate formats.
However, SH74 YNE utilises the 4 for an A, just like SH74 UNA, to almost perfectly spell the name on a brand new registration.
4. AD74 NAN
Adnan is an Arabic name that’s immensely popular in the UK, and the perfect Adnan registration is available thanks to the new 74 release. AD74 NAN is another one of those that clearly spells out the name, leaving no confusion on British roads about who’s behind the wheel of your new car.
5. CA74 HYS and KA74 HYS
For the Cathys and Kathys out there, the 74 number plate series has your back. CA74 HYS and KA74 HYS are both available to buy online and make the most of the numbers in the reg by using the 7 as a T.
If you’re lucky enough to have a C at the start of your name, CA74 HYS is available for a reduced price of £2,549 in National Numbers Summer Sale.
6. ST74 CYS
Stacy name-based number plates are less difficult to find than others on this list because they’re so short, but what sets this one apart is that it spells “Stacy’s”. This means you can tell motorists exactly who owns your vehicle and registration, all with a fantastic number plate.
You can buy ST74 CYS for £2249 in the National Numbers Summer Sale, available for a limited time only at this price.
7. DE74 CON
Deacon is a name that was popular in the noughties and as luck would have it, many Deacons are now of driving age and looking for a new car.
If you manage to bag yourself a car manufactured after September 1st, you can buy DE74 CON for £1954 with National Numbers. Act fast, however, as this price is limited and only part of their summer sale!
8. DR74 KES
Thanks to the superstar rapper and singer, Drake is becoming a hugely popular name in the UK and USA. For anybody buying a British vehicle named Drake, DR74 KES is the perfect way to demonstrate ownership of your brand new car.
Available for £2,799 with National Numbers, you can buy DR74 KES online today.
9. GR74 EME
Graeme is a classic British name and one of the most common in the country. The 74 release has marked the release of GR74 EME, a brilliant Graeme reg that hits the mark for this tricky to spell name.
If you’re in the market for a new car in 2024/2025, or have one on order already, buy GR74 EME online with National Numbers, available for £3,999 for a limited time.
10. MA74 EWS
MA74 EWS is a multipurpose name-based private number plate that can be used for a first name and surname. Either indicating ownership of the vehicle with Matthew’s or spelling the surname Matthews, this is the perfect way to personalise your new vehicle.
Honourable mentions
The 74 release sees millions of combinations available, so we aren’t limited to a top ten list. Let’s take a look at some others that didn’t make our favourites but are still brilliant on their own.
We’ll start with Seamus, a unique forename you’ll struggle to find on a reg of any other format, which is now available with the new batch of 74s in the form of SE74 MUS.
There are also loads of surname-based 74 registrations such as SL74 TER, WA74 ERS, and PA74 ELS, while you can also bag rarer name-based plates such as GL74 DYS, HE74 THS, and many more.
