After the presentation of the
petition mentioned in section 31-2-401, the name proposed to be given to such city
or town shall be filed by the clerk in the office of the secretary of state, to be
retained there for a period of at least thirty days, and, upon application, the
secretary of state, at any time after the expiration of said thirty days from said

other municipality in this state if such is the fact. If such name has been adopted by
any other municipality, as appears from the records in his office, the secretary of

further proceedings shall be undertaken unless another petition, setting forth a
different proposed name, is filed, which such different proposed name shall

name shall be commenced until a certificate is received from the secretary of state
attesting that the proposed name has not been adopted elsewhere in this state.
