You'd be wrong there - as someone who once worked in that 'government department' who sold personalised registration marks, I can tell you we were not permitted to sell them if you gave us any inclination that you were going to misrepresent your registration. If someone called up and said "I want to make a registration look like my name" we were to give them one chance to say they weren't going to do it or we'd have to end the call. Anything else and we could be prosecuted for assisting an offender. Sounds stupid I know but that's the government for you.
Oh and by the way there is no way to get someone's details from their number. The DPA is there for a reason.
