Answer:
It spends on State law. In Texas:
Are there restrictions on the assumed names I can file?
Yes. An entity may not file an assumed name for its exact legal name because this does not meet the definition of an "assumed name." This is true for both domestic entities and for foreign entities that are required to register with the secretary of state under a fictitious name.
Example: If the legal name of your business is ABC, Inc:
You may not file an assumed name certificate for ABC, Inc.
You may file an assumed name certificate for ABC.
You may file an assumed name certificate for A.B.C., Inc.
You may file an assumed name certificate for Austin Boating Club.
An assumed name certificate is not required to include an organizational identifier such as Incorporated, Inc., LLC, Limited, etc.
