Before the birth of our first child we were struggling over names. I was keen on either Alexander or Alexandra, depending on the sex. We discussed it for weeks and Ruth had her own ideas (funnily enough, one of them was Eleanor - but no connection to Rigby).
The day I was taking her to the hospital, we had a sign!
Waiting to turn into the road where the hospital was, I noticed the number plate of the car in front.
A437
LEX.
That was it - the name was chosen! He'll be 20 this year.

Anyone else named their child after a number plate?
Very interesting. Your story put in mind of the number plate on the cover of the Abbey Road LP. As you may recall, the number plate on the back of a white VW Beetle parked in Abbey Road near the group's recording studio reads "28 IF." This was taken by those who theorized the real Paul McCartney had died to be the age of Macca if he had lived... The Beatles in the foreground are walking across a zebra crossing, and the replacement Paul's bare feet are said to be confirmation that the real Paul had died, John's dressed all in white so he must have preached at the funeral, etc, etc.
