Hello, gorgeous. It's Lala Kent. Welcome to Untraditionally Lala.

Hello, gorgeous. Welcome to the bonus episode of Untraditionally Lala. We had so many listeners

right in with confusion about where all of our names come from. I have had so many people ask why you and I

don't have the same last name. We do. I know we do. We do. You took our father's name and made it

your last. Because my dad's name was not Kent, Kent, I promise you. No. We're the Burningham's.

See, there's my dad's name.

And we burn hard as a motherfucker.

But everyone would call me Lauren Birmingham.

And I'm like, my entire name is botched.

Right?

Lauren Birmingham.

We'd have to tell people like, what's your last name, burning ham?

Like burning a chicken, but burning a ham. Oh, when I deal with like insurance or like doctor's appointments, they're like, and what's your last name and date of birth? I'm like Burningham, just like you're burning chicken, but burning ham. I can't tell you how many times even with like going to the doctors and I'm like Burning him. And I'll spell it out for him. And they'll go, okay,, Mr. Birmingham and I go, no, it's burning. And they go, can you spell that again? And it's like, I'm fucking dead. So, yeah, there we go. Lala Ken is just so much easier. It's easier. No one's botching it. And I didn't start as Lala Kent. I started as Lauren Kent when I started acting when I was like 12 years old. And it was L-A-U-R-Y N. Well, because I wanted it to be different. I wanted people to be like, and how weird that Amber is with a Y. Wow. I didn't even think of that. I know. Hers is legit, though. Hers is like government. Mine was just like trying to be a little different.

But then when I moved to L.A., my childhood friends called me Lala. So I would introduce myself.

First of all, I gave you that name name. When I was a kid, I only liked my sister to come up and get me from the stairs.

We had like these grand stairs with an entrance. And I just sit up at the top, I guess, and go, la la. And if my mom would come, I guess I didn't want her. So I would just yell to my sister to come and walk me down the stairs. Yeah. So it just stuck. Like I wasn't trying to be cool. I wasn't trying to be like edgy. People called you Lola in high school.

Lala B.

Yeah.

I was Lalaala in high school.

Lala B.

Yeah.

I was Lala B in high school. I just remember it. I'll never forget just walking senior. You were a senior. I was a sophomore. So we went to school. But like all the Polly kids, Lala! Yeah. Lala! And then every time that's when I was like, okay, it's just la la.
