Paul Manafort’s daughter gets a new name

Paul Manafort’s daughter is ditching the family name.

Jessica Manafort, 36, filed paperwork in Manhattan Supreme Court late Friday to change her now-infamous surname to Bond, Jess Bond.

“I would like my new name to be Jessica Anne Bond, in place of my present name,” she said in the legal filing.

Bond is her mother Kathleen’s maiden name, which the daughter feels “more closely suits [her] profession,” she wrote in court papers.

Jessica, an independent filmmaker, seemed to test her hopes-to-be-future name in July, when her latest flick, “Rosy,” came out.

Its director was listed as Jess Bond.

She told The Post she’s seeking the name change “to separate myself and my work from a public perception that has nothing to do with the person that I am.”

When asked about the prospective name change in July, Manafort told the Los Angeles Times, “I am a passionate liberal and a registered Democrat and this has been difficult for me. Although I am ‘the daughter of,’ I am very much my own person and hopefully people can realize that.”
