Lorne Grabher is very proud of his unique family name, which comes from German origins. It's displayed on the front of his house, as well as on his personalized licence plate.
"Well, I am the only one in Eastern Canada," says Lorne Grabher. "I originally had it done for my father back in 1991 for his birthday. It was to have our name be put on something and be proud of it."
But in December, Grabher received a letter from Nova Scotia’s Registrar of Motor Vehicles, telling him they'd received a complaint and had deemed the licence plate 'socially unacceptable.'
"Where does the province of Nova Scotia and this government have a person with that kind of power to discriminate against my name?" asked Grabher.
The personalized plate was first registered in Nova Scotia. It's since crossed Canada and has been held by three generations of Grabher's, including Lorne's son who lives in Alberta.

I had several distant in laws named “Raper”. I always wondered where the name originated. Also knew a girl whose last name was “Rape”.
or “GOATHMPR”
At least his name isnt Horlick.
He should get a specially made bumper sticker that says
IT’S MY LAST NAME @@@HOLE!!
That’s nothing to my late father’s girlfriend in the 1940s, Patty Peniston.
He’s white, he’s male (probably straight too) and likely a Christian.
With that info, all his belongings should be confiscated and given to poor immigrants. /s/
The show “Kröd Mändoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire” they a character who was in prison as he was a horse raper. His name was Horst Draper.
We had a shop teacher whose name was Horstmeyer. Of course everyone called him “Horse Meyer”.
Grabher is the Germanic name for Caesar.
“Seize thew means of reproduction”
example: "I believe you've made an error in rejecting my vanity license plate. Allahu Akbar!"
If they so much as flinch at that then you come back with "Are you making fun of my beliefs? Allahu Akbar!"
I have a feeling you'd get unbelievably good service.
A guy who owns a GM dealership in Richmond name is Buster Hyman.

LOL, to a teenager, hearing of Dick Ball on Cox Street made me think of Bevis and Butthead in the "No laughing" episode (One of two I saw all the way through!)
Buzzcut: "So, Beavis and Butt-Head, I understand Mr. McVicker has made a little arrangement with you guys. Yeah, a little probation. You see, class, Beavis and Butt-Head here are not allowed to laugh for a whole week. That's right, and if they do laugh they'll be expelled, and they'll have to go to Hope High School where they'll get their asses kicked on a daily basis by all the other delinquents, ha ha ha!
[Students laugh; Beavis and Butt-head try to hold it in]
Buzzcut: "Well, I was real glad to hear that, because this is sex education week. That's right, sex ed. week. We're gonna be talkin' about the PENIS! We'll be talkin' about the VAGINA! Do you think that's funny, Butt-Head? Do you find it amusing that we'll be talkin' about the TESTICLES? Yes, we're also gonna be talkin' about VENEREAL DISEASE! SEXUAL INTERCOURSE! THE SCROTUM! THE CLITORIS! And... and we will definitely be spending a lot of time talking about MASTURBATION!"
[the class laughs, tears streak from Butt-Head's eyes, as Beavis and Butt-head struggle to hold in their laughter]
Reminds me of the Jewish Cuban who wasn’t allowed to have plates saying Juban.
Problem solved.
