While appearing on Scott Evans' House Guest podcast, the Nope actress, whose real name is Lauren Palmer, opened up about how she and her ex decided on the name for their son.
"Darius actually made his name. He wanted both our names, which is so crazy," she said, joking about how the practice of combining the parents' names is seemingly common in Chicago. "So yeah, that was him trying to put like Darius and Lauren, like Leodis, like it was just too much, but I said, 'Hey, let's do it. It's adorable.' "
"I was pregnant, anything went. It's adorable, ... and then also it sounded like an old name," she said. "He sounded like he was marching with [Martin Luther King Jr.]. It's like Leodis Andrellton Jackson. He's gonna be on somebody's campaign."
