If Kris Jenner didn’t have an obsession with naming all her daughters with names starting with the letter K, then our favorite supermodel Kendall Jenner, may have had a completely different name. On season 17’s finale episode, momager Kris revealed the name she originally had in mind for Kendall.
 
While enjoying their vacation in Wyoming, Kendall out of the blue pointed out that it was where she was conceived. Kris then corrected her by saying that it was where the family found out they were having a girl. Then Kris casually put it out there that back when she was carrying Kendall, she was obsessed with the alphabet “J”, and wanted to name her with a name starting with the alphabet, and zeroed in on “Juliet Jenner!

Thankfully, the momager changed her mind and got back to her “K” obsession and named the supermodel Kendall. We can’t imagine Kendall being called Juliet. The supermodel, however, has a beautiful middle name- Nicole. Nicole was added to her name in memory of Kris Jenner’s close friend, Nicole Simpson, who died before Kendall’s birth.
 
On the finale episode, we saw Kendall feeling hurt and upset over her sister Kylie not being able to make it to the family vacation. It had been a tradition with the sisters to come to Wyoming and spend some family time. Finding out that her sister was not willing to spare time for this family vacation had put a real dampener on Kendall's spirits. But then she did not sulk for too long. Kendall later left fans in splits when she savagely impersonated Kylie promoting her lip kits. While the supermodel might not have done the best job of applying the lipstick on her lips, she did a bang on job of impersonating her billionaire sister.
