(2) A limited liability partnership name shall not contain the word "cooperative," "corporation," "corp.," "incorporated," "Inc.," "limited partnership," "L.P.," "LP," "Ltd.," "limited liability company," "L.L.C." or "LLC" or any abbreviation or derivation of any of the terms used in this subsection.
(3) A limited liability partnership name shall be written in the alphabet used to write the English language and may include Arabic and Roman numerals and incidental punctuation.
