On Married... with Children, Peggy Bundy’s maiden name is Wanker.
Peggy is introduced as Al Bundy’s outspoken, shopping-loving wife, but the series occasionally reveals details about her family and life before marriage. Her maiden name, Wanker, is part of the show’s deliberately irreverent humor and is used in jokes involving Peggy’s relatives and hometown connections.
Peggy’s full given name is Margaret, although she is almost always called Peggy or Peg. After marrying Al, she becomes Peggy Bundy, while her original surname remains a recurring gag. The Wanker family includes several eccentric relatives who appear or are mentioned across the series, reinforcing the show’s broad, cartoonish comedy.
Katey Sagal played Peggy throughout the sitcom’s original run, opposite Ed O’Neill as Al. Married... with Children premiered on Fox in 1987 and ran for 11 seasons, ending in 1997. The series intentionally satirized the polished “perfect family” sitcoms that were popular during the same era, with the Bundys serving as its dysfunctional centerpiece.
