Except for the bona fide natural name of an individual, no name proposed by an applicant or licensed producer shall be approved if such name is too similar to a name already approved for use by another applicant or licensee of the Department of Insurance. Similarity is determined by comparing the first two, or more, words, initials, and/or numbers in the proposed name, with any or all of the words, initials, and/or numbers of all existing approved names.
