does it mean the same thing?

wanted to register an LLC and apparently the name is n/a.
If I use the word "greene" instead of "green" (i.e. green homes llc) - would it essentially mean the same thing?
Thanks!!!

You should be OK with that one. Legally, it is different. But do you really want a name that's so similar to another?

You could possibly run the risk of mistaken identity. Suppose the "Green LLC" is sued for some kind of fraud or other misdeed. With an LLC name so similar it's possible that a mixup could take place and you could get wrapped up in the mess.

Is it correctable? Sure, but is it really worth the hassle? Why not just pick a name that's a little more unique? Pure Green Profits LLC? Just an example but you get the point.

Good luck!
