Whenever it may be desirable to change the name of any city in this state, a petition for that purpose may be filed in the district court of the county in which the city is situated, setting forth the reason for the change of name and the name requested. The court may order the change of name, on being satisfied by proof that:

1. The request of the petitioners is just, proper, and reasonable.

2. Notice has been provided as required in section 32-28-02.

3. Two-thirds of the qualified electors of the city, as determined by the vote cast for the office of governor at the last preceding gubernatorial election, have signed such petition expressing their desire that such change of name be granted.

4. There is no other city in this state with the requested name.
