What’s in a name? Just ask Stephanie Madoff, daughter-in-law to imprisoned Ponzi schemer Bernie Madoff. Seems like Stephanie is finding that the surname she took when she wed Bernie’s boy Mark isn’t just a badge of shame — it’s also a threat to her life. That’s why she has petitioned a Manhattan court for a name change.<\/p>\n

Citing death threats made against her since her father-in-law got nabbed for bilking billions out of investors, Stephanie now “wishes to avoid additional embarrassment, harassment and endangerment associated with the name ‘Madoff.'”<\/p>\n

She’s also seeking to protect the lives of her two children, adding name-change requests for them both to the petition. Oddly, both kids will retain “Madoff” as a middle name.<\/p>\n

According to court documents, Mark Madoff voiced no objection to the request.<\/p>\n

We’re guessing he might be considering dropping the “Madoff” from his name too.<\/p>\n
