(a) The name interferes with or is deceptively similar to a name already filed and in use by another licensee;
(b) Use of the name may mislead the public in any respect; or
(c) The name states or implies that the licensee or applicant is an insurer or is entitled to engage in insurance activities not authorized under the licenses which the licensee holds or for which the applicant has applied.
