Yes, "Prestige Plate." It's called a vanity plate or a personalized plate in other states, but that's what we GA calls 'em. Anyway, Georgia has no way to check license plate availability without submitting for them. Even then, you can only submit with 6 options at a time and they will give you the first one available in your list. That's kinda hard to commit to when you may have been able to try harder to find an alternative spelling or something when learning that your prefered one is unavailable and factoring that in to a prioritized list quickly runs out with only six options. To compound things, motorcycles are limited to 6 characters with no punctuation (space is counted as a full character).

I'm hoping someone here has a way to see if these are in use. If anyone can run a few of these and let me know if they already exist or not, I'd be extremely grateful. I assume that it's legal because I'm not asking for any information attached to the registration, just that it exists or not.

BLUSHL/BLU5HL/BSHELL/B5HELL ("Blue Shell" - Mario Kart reference - likely all taken)
F ZERO/FALCON/CPFLCN/BLFLCN/FPUNCH/PUNCH/PAWNCH (F-Zero/Captain Falcon/Blue Falcon/Super Smash Bros. reference)
NTENDO/N1ODOE/NIODOE/N1ODOH/NIODOH/N1O DO/NIO DO/EN1ODO/ENIODO/NNTNDO (some very forced Nintendo references-too direct?)

GA says that the die for the letter O and the number zero is the same. I'm pretty sure that means I can't use variants with substitutions of the two.
 
Walk down to the local LEO and ask them to check if such a plate exists in the system. Explain what you are trying to do.
 
It's 2015 and there's still no way to verify Prestige Plate availability in GA via an individual Mac/PC search?!? 🙄

I haven't searched again recently and still haven't put in for one as a result. Thanks, GA! 🙄

Everywhere else they are called "VANITY" plates, what's with Georgia?

They call them that in GA too. Pretty much only those looking for one ever finds out that they are called anything else. Well, I guess I have heard personal/personalized plate almost as often as "vanity plate."
