He’s not name-dropping.

An Australian man named Geoffrey Epstein is running for mayor in a Massachusetts town — and he rejects any comparisons to the convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, according to a report.

Epstein, who goes by “Geoff,” said he wasn’t afraid of the overt homophonic resemblance his name bears to that of the notorious, dead sex trafficker.

“That other one is a dead American and I am a live Aussie,” Epstein, who is seeking office in Framingham, a Boston suburb, told HuffPost Tuesday.

“But, of course, there is all the horrifying criminality and darkness of the other guy,” the aspiring pol said, adding, “I have lived my life trying to be straight up and improving things.”

Epstein said there was “no way” he would change his name to avoid association with the degenerate criminal, who officials said committed suicide in a Manhattan lockup in 2019.

“I like my name and I am proud of my family,” he said, adding his family proudly fought in World War II.

The Aussie, who noted he was born on September 11, further stands apart from his doppel-namer by way of holding a Ph.D. in theoretical physics, whereas Jeffrey Epstein dropped out of Cooper Union before attaining a degree.

He is not the first politician to fight off associations with the infamous sex trafficker.

New York State Assemblyman Harvey Epstein was mocked on Saturday Night Live last year for having a name that recalled not only Jeffrey Epstein, but convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein.

“It was a total surprise,” Epstein told The Post the day after the show aired. “Imagine if you were watching SNL and there was a parody about you.”

“Your name is your name. It is what it is. Both [Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein] are horrific,” the pol added.
