Kendall is no longer a Jenner. Sort of.

The 18-year-old beauty recently dropped her last name for her modeling career, according to HollywoodLife.com.

Although rumors have been surfacing that Kendall dropped Jenner due to embarrassment of her family and such, the model is reportedly just trying to keep her modeling career at an all-time high, and she felt that her last name may have been keeping her behind.

"People didn't want to take a chance on me, I think because I was sort of known," Kendall told Teen Vogue for her September cover shoot.

The "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star added, "They were a little bit on the fence about it. Some people might think that what I've done before made it easier for me to get jobs, but it was actually a disadvantage. I had to work even harder."

Kendall Jenner is already well on her way to making a name for herself in the modeling world, evident from her recent Vogue September photo shoot and runway gigs.

Aside from her modeling career, the Jenner sister reportedly wants to gain "some independence from her family," a source close to the Kardashian-Jenner family revealed to the entertainment website.

"Everyone in the business refers to her on a first-name basis, anyway. Plus, she thinks it's cool! She's always looked up to Twiggy and Giselle, and they're on a first-name basis, too. It's really important to Kendall that she make a name for herself on her own and she feels like dropping her last name helps with that goal," stated the insider.
