An NM01 form was signed by the client, then submitted by us. However, the decision has been made to stick with the original name. In the back of my mind I've a feeling we can't change the name for 3 months (or am I getting mixed up with the time for a DS01 after a NM01?).
Does anyone know if I can do it straight away?
Thanks

Yes, Companies House website knows. Look there first.
@ atleast . . . .(OP).
(1) Companies House guidance:-
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/change-a-company-name-nm01
(2) Companies Act 2006 legislation:-
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/46/section/77
[see sections 78 to 81 also, for completeness]
Whilst Companies House have, by virtue of the legislation, discretion to reject an application, the “two changes within a short period” principle outlined by you does not itself appear to be a factor which would impact on that discretion.
