According to Huffington Post, Kendall has apparently dropped her last name to book her modeling jobs.

“She went and auditioned, and she just goes by the name of Kendall, hoping that people won’t think that she gets any [handouts],” Kim told reporters at the opening of the Miami DASH store earlier in the week.

Kim added about her younger sister and how proud she was: “She works her butt off! She just goes to casting after casting. I’m so proud of her that she — for her first Fashion Week — was able to achieve all the shows she was able to walk in. She’s living her dream and it’s so inspiring to watch her.”
