The detail
What it means in practice.
A founder who isn't ready to form can reserve the name so nobody else takes it in the meantime. Wyoming and Delaware both hold a reserved name for 120 days. Most founders simply file the formation instead, because that secures the name for as long as the company exists and costs little more.
