The name shall not contain language stating or implying that the corporation is organized for a purpose other than that permitted by Nebraska law and its articles of incorporation. Except as may be permitted by Nebraska law, a corporation’s name must be distinguishable from the names of any other entities organized or authorized to transact business in Nebraska as well as names reserved or registered in accordance with the state’s laws.

One individual may simultaneously hold more than one office in the corporation.
