These words shall be preceded by an appropriate descriptive word or words approved by the supervisor. An ordinal number shall not be used as a single descriptive word preceding the required words unless the required words are followed by the name of the municipality or county in which the association has its principal office.

No certificate of incorporation of a proposed association having the same name as any other association authorized to do business in this state under the Savings and Loan Act, or a name so nearly resembling it as to be calculated to deceive, shall be issued by the supervisor except to an association formed by the reincorporation, reorganization or consolidation of other associations, or upon the sale of the property or franchise of an association.
C. No person, firm, company, fiduciary, partnership or corporation, either domestic or foreign, unless authorized to do business in this state under the provisions of the Savings and Loan Act, shall do business under any name or title which indicates or reasonably implies that the business is the character or kind of business carried on or transacted by an association, or which is calculated to lead any person to believe that the business is that of an association. Upon application by the supervisor or by any association, the district court shall enjoin any such entity from violating or continuing to violate any provision of this section.
