Is there a reason behind this? What if I want my date of birth as my registry? or my favourite number? or anythin more personal?
Why are the rest of the numbers restricted?
90,000 - 999,999
It's not a small range.
But if you're asking why you can't use numbers less than 90,000 - I'd hazard a guess that this is because CBS/Paramount has reserved that range for 'real' ships.
Canon registries go into the 70000's - I guess the intervening years between ST: Nemesis and the STO timeline were used for the 80000's - maybe it's a CBS thing.

*Edit* Beat me to it
They don't want players using existing numbers, and they want to leave a large section of numbers for official use in future work.
