Vanity Plate of the Day – NAIMAN
NAIMAN
This one was on the back of an Infinity SUV. I could not see the driver. I bring this up as I can think of two possible reasons for this plate. One it could be someone’s name. Secondly, it could be an Arabic word that is used after someone has a shave, haircut, shower, etc. From what read it might loosely translate as “all cleaned up, looking good again.”

Vanity Plate for the Day – QD RX
QD RX
This one was on the back of a Honda Accord. QD is the medical abbreviation for every day. And of course, RX is the abbreviation for a prescription. It was a young woman driving the vehicle so I am assuming a newly minted pharmacist.
