Dear All --

Here are two ways to answer this 'prohibited name-words' question specifically for every state - and avoid getting everyone's opinion and/or experience with some state other than the one in which you are interested:  

Google the state law on LLC or corporation, or whatever legal entity you are considering. Only pick the responses that have the .gov extension on their URL. Then, READ THE LAW that governs the state in which you are forming and naming your business entity.

If you need to talk to the real expert for your state, call the secretary of state's office in that state and have the receptionist transfer you to the person who handles formations and names for type of entity and ask them the question.

Happy googling/dialing
