It’s better than Ms. Client No. 9.
Three years after Silda Wall and hooker-happy former Gov. Eliot Spitzer divorced, she’s legally taking back his name, according to a report in Politico New York on Tuesday.
She filed legal papers in December in upstate Columbia County where she has a home, asking to change her name to Silda Wall Spitzer.
“Petitioner simply desires to change her name from Silda Alice Wall, her legal name, to Silda Alice Wall Spitzer, the name she has been using socially, publicly and professionally for many years and which her children share,” the court documents say.
She kept her maiden name when they married in 1987, but used the Spitzer name socially and professionally.
Acting Supreme Court Justice Henry Zwack signed the order for the name change on Feb. 9, the report said.
The couple divorced in 2013 after Spitzer became involved in a romantic relationship with a staffer on his campaign for New York City comptroller.
He resigned in disgrace as governor in 2008 after getting caught up in a prostitution scandal where he was identified as “Client No. 9.”
Spitzer declined to comment to Politico.
