It’s not that Stephanie Madoff, wife of Mark, sister-in-law of Andy, D-in-L of Bernie and Ruth isn’t proud of the name or family she married into. Far from it. It’s just that she’s been thinking about it and it just doesn’t “mesh” so well with the image she’s going for. Stalin would be better. Or, hey, how about Hitler? Manson? Wouldn’t have to changed the monogrammed towels. That’s always something to consider. Think about it.
Stephanie Madoff, who is married to the imprisoned moneyman’s son Mark, asked a court last night to let her and the children take the last name Morgan.
“Petitioner wishes to avoid additional embarrassment, harassment and endangerment associated with the name ‘Madoff’ by changing my last name to ‘Morgan,’” said the papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court.
Papers filed on behalf of 3-year-old Audrey and 1-year-old Nicholas point out that the tykes have “never been convicted of a crime.”
Who is Charles Mason?
Who is Charles Mason?
@1/2 James Mason’s illegitimate son, of course.
From the All-Knowing Wikipedia:
Charles Mason (1810 – May 31, 1879 Utica, Oneida County, New York) was an American lawyer and politician from New York.
I mean, who wouldn’t want to be associated with a 19th century lawyer from Utica!
@4 uh…we’re talking about charles maNson.
Dimon will deny this request…can’t just be throwin’ the name around, ya know.
…’never been convicted’…never denies them being charged with anything. Something’s definitely up.
Between the love of fish and Madoff Securities more resembling a bucket shop than storied investment bank, I think Marlin would be a more appropriate last name than Morgan.
@5 – keep up. We nitpicked Bess on her typo, where it was originally “Mason.” She changed it. 2-4 took some cheap shots worth about a 2 on the 1-10 (low-good) humor scale. It’s over.
TEASERS WOOOOOOOO
Morgan? It’s a shanda and a disgrace, in this day and age, but what would you expect from marrying a shiksa?
What’s up with the “taints” tag? Not complaining in any way, just curious/feeling slightly dumb this afternoon.

@lowly- the madoff name is tainted.
-the joke briefer’s intern
@lowly, i believe its a pun. a play on words, taking an innocuous word like taint (meaning to soil with shame) and invoking the image of the fleshy area between the nutsack and butthole.
see what she did there?
Wouldn’t it be easier just to change her first name?
14,
Apparently I can’t separate the two terms (“If it taint ass, it taint c*n*” vs. spoil, unpleasantly mark, etc.). There’s no hope for the cleansing of my mind.
Danke.
because ’tain’t a good name
She’s changing her name to Marakoupolous.
Maybe you should have a poll to suggest new last names for her
And besides, hasn’t anyone noticed that “Madoff” sounds like he “MADE-OFF” with other peoples’ money? No? Just me?
@15 – Sooo…you’re saying ‘Tainted Love’ is a lot more literal than I thought it was?

“Don’t touch me, please! I cannot stand the way you feeeeel!”
Dammit. Screwed for the day.
Why Morgan? Why not Goldman?
@24 the culture.
@24 -
I think they’re scared of the daily verbal berating they would have to take from LvP.
Think Dr. Lechter / Miggs in Silence of the Lambs.
what’s with all the double posting today – from long time commenters? is everyone using products from steve jobs?
@21/CL “Come on Eileen.”
Just sayin’.
I think Stephanie “Rockefeller” or Stephanie “Kennedy” or Stephanie “Hughes” all sound weighty and important.
when is the 3 yr old going to jail ?
Stefanie Balkany
I think I am going to get a sandwich.
Too bad, Howard Marshall (Anna Nicole’s 90 yr old husband) is not alive to make a honest woman out of Stephanie.
Stephanie Marshall. He could adopt little Nicholas (what kind of jewish name is Nicholas?) and Audrey!
they should change their name to MadeUp
Stepahnie Taint
So much for Mark clearing his “good name”. Sounds like wifey thinks he is headed for the Big House.
Wish my parents would’ve thought of this.

I’ll have two taints and a side of slaw.
@33 she isn’t jewish, she is actually a sweet girl and had no idea about her shitbag family-in-law.
Go back to your cube.
@39 you sayin’ jewish girls can’t be sweet? examine your moyles.
@40 NO.
I was waiting for some twit to write that.
Seeing as how i am jewish so is my sister, family and girlfriend. I would just say you are an idiot.
My post was not intended to draw connection between her religion and her disposition.
Just saying she is a nice girl who caught a bad bad situation.
-39
@37 I am sure 39 is not referring to Stephanie being of any relation to you, being of Shitbag heritage. Classic misinterpretation. Because we all know you must have it hard enough as it is, you don’t need to be a distant relative to the Madoff name too.
wtf is a “moyle”?
@43 a moyle is a Jewish wee wee barber
in ancient times (and still rarely in brooklyn) a moyle would cauterize a baby’s wound with his mouth. somewhat recently a baby died of an STD transmitted this way, i believe syphillis. for reals.
@43 an Irish mohel, maybe?
@45 please eat shit and die.
