Hmmm... From the article:
Vermont regulations state that license plates are not allowed to have a combination of letters or numbers that refer in any language to race, religion, color, deity, ethnic heritage, gender, sexual orientation, disability status or political affiliation.
I think the only one that would pass muster would be "Darwin" as it doesn't fall under any of these categories. The other three are religion or political affiliation.
