Kris Jenner's name is synonymous with momager, Kardashian and E! star, but now that her marriage to Bruce Jenner is over, is she going to ditch his last name?

E! News confirmed yesterday that a Los Angeles county judge signed legal documents finalizing Kendall and Kylie Jenner's parents' divorce. They won't officially divorced until March 23, 2015, due to the six-month legal requirement, but for all practical purposes, Kris is most definitely no longer Mrs. Bruce Jenner (although not to worry, they're still best friends).

So what's the plan, dolls? Well, a source tells E! News exclusively the 59-year-old mother of six "hasn't yet decided what she's gonna do about her last name. She doesn't seem to be in a rush to decide just yet."

Fair enough! If Kris wanted to, she could always go back to her maiden name, Houghton. There's also the possibility she could take on the Kardashian moniker!

On a 2012 episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kris, who was then still married to Bruce, contemplated taking back ex-husband Robert Kardashian's name as a business decision. "I live in a Kardashian world," she later explained to ABC News. "It's like Kardashian inc., in my office—I eat Kardashian, I breathe Kardashian, I sleep Kardashian. I deal in Kardashians—so everyone calls me Kris Kardashian, and it goes on and on..."

"So for one second it bought maybe I'll just succumb to the fact that i just need to be a Kardashian for a while," she said, "but my family quickly shut that down."

Reports surfaced last year when Kris and Bruce first separated that she was planning on changing her name to Kardashian. "I'd like to think people are smarter than to believe this stuff," she told E! News back then. "It's all rubbish."

Only time will tell what Kris decides to do with her last name. No matter what, though, it seems a pretty safe bet we can keep calling her our favorite momager!
