"Her mother is a Possible by marriage. The show calls them 'Doctors Possible' and I haven't seen any real reason why Kim would feel any different."
Kim's parents probably married before Kim's mom became academically famous for her technical articles about laser brain surgery (familiar to Will Du in "Number One"). Kim, on the other hand, became famous as Kim Possible while a ninth or tenth grader. This is differnet.

This is true. Mrs. Possible was definitely well-known before she was married.

I think she would change it to Kimberly Anne Stoppable but if some one said "its impossible" she wouldn't be able to say "Impossible? check my name." anymore.

She'd probably keep it for porfessional reasons.

Some excellent points raised, muchachos. But I gotta go with the "keep maiden name for professional reasons" answer.
And another thing, what's with all the sudden interest in wedding, mine an' Kim's to be more specific? Has Wade been leaking stuff out without either of us knowin'?

Hmmm.... Good topic!
I would say that Kim, being from all of the edvidence from the show a traditional kind of girl, would change her name to Ron's once they got married. But given the fact that she is world reknowned as Kim Possible and that changing her last name would probably throw people into a loop for quite some time... I feel that Kim would keep her maiden name while on the job.
Just my two cents

Kim will change her name because she traditionalist and Kim Stoppable is pretty cool too. wade won't change the site but everyone will know ahead of time she is ms. Stoppable so there be no confusion. i personally believe the wedding would be shown all around the world by news companies. don't k now why that what i believe.

Well, this is a bit of a conundrum.
I whole heartedly agree that Kim would take Stoppable as her last name for many reasons. Tradition is a big one, but another one that no one has mentioned is for Ron's sake. Kim is a pretty astute person and despite her never really calling Ron her sidekick, to my knowledge, he is seen as the sidekick be everyone else, including Ron. So if she kept Possible this would be like a giant neon sign stating that, "yeah we are a couple but I still don't consider him a partner or an equal." And therein lies the problem with Kim keeping Possible as her last name.
If Kim kept Possible as her last name then it would almost seem like a betrayal of the commitment that they made. Kim has a lot of things to brng into the marriage, nearly everything, Ron has a lot less to bring to the marriage, at least it would seem so to him. So if she rejected his last name it would be like slapping Ron in the face and saying that what little he brought in wasn't good enough.
I just don't see her doing that to Ron.
Now, here lies my dilema. I couldn't just vote for change her name, because as many others have pointed out she is world famous as Kim Possible. Therefore, she would most likely contiue to save the world as Kim Possible.
However, again, I couldn't vote for take Ron's name but use Possible professionally becuase in any non-world saving endeavours that Kim participated in I don't see her going by Possible. If she were to become famous in any areas after her marriage I only see her going by Stoppable.
So, I think that Kim would go by Stoppable in all regards except world saving. So sort of a take Ron's name for personal and professional endeavours except world saving.
Does any of this make any sense?

Does any of this make any sense? Well, no, given I can't see Ron having *that* big an ego problem. He certainly didn't mind Kim getting most of the credit for the missions, etc. Ron would be the type to accept Kim changing to his last name, but keeping hers for professional reasons ('Saving the world' would be part of her professional career if she decides to go down that path, like joining Global Justice, etc.). As I said, I can't see Ron having that big an ego problem, if Kim decides to change to his name personally but keeps hers for professional.

As I said, I can't see Ron having that big an ego problem, if Kim decides to change to his name personally but keeps hers for professional. I guess that I wasn’t clear enough. The only part that has anything to do with Ron’s ego is whether Kim would take his name personally. From the professional stand point this is all Kim. I don’t think that Ron would care about this one way or another. She is Kim Stoppable to everyone that really knows her and that would be enough for him. Here was my underlying thinking on the use of Stoppable for anything other then world saving. First, Kim is famous for being a teen hero before she married, this is the reason that she would keep Possible. However, if she makes her mark in any other field it will most likely be after they are married. (I for one don’t see them not being married while in college.) Second, Kim is not the type of person who would really try to capitalize on her reputation as a hero while trying to achieve something in another field. Say for instance that she goes into medicine then I could actually see Kim getting upset about what she might see as favoritism deferred to her because of her hero status as Kim “Possible” in getting a job or publishing a new procedure. She would want to make it in this new area because she is good enough in this new area, not because of her “hero” status. One rather simple, yet effective, way around this would be to go by Kim Stoppable (her legal name) in this other field. Sure, some might make the connection, but many wouldn’t and thus much of what she would achieve as Kim Stoppable would be by her own merits and not by riding on the coattails of her success as the hero Kim Possible. (This would also serve the purpose of removing herself from any favoritism garnered by being associated with her equally, in some circles, renowned parents.) Thus, her use of Stoppable in any professional area not related to world saving would have little to do with Ron and a lot to do with Kim.

That's not true, at least not from Kim's viewpoint. Ron does a lot for her. She's a lot more emotionally fragile than she seems to the outside world, and he's the support that makes her strong. When there's nothing else he can do, he's her personal cheerleader and number one fan. Listen to him in Team Impossible after she's decked two out of three. "You are so over, dude." Or in Bueno Nacho headquarters when she's fighting Shego high on the catwalk. And of course, whenever she thinks she's defeated. "Drakken has not won. He played you. Now it's payback time."
I think one of the first things Kim will do after the "So the Drama" dance and kiss is open herself up, and make sure Ron knows just how much she appreciates what he does for her. By the time these guys are engaged, much less married, I don't think Ron's still going to have any ego uncertainties about his value to Kim. She'll support him the way he's always supported her.

Good point Cloud.
So maybe that part isn't really valid, but I still think she would take Stoppable as her personal name and professional name in everything except world saving.

Yep. The wedding will be the last possible episode of the Kim Possible show.
After that, it's the Kim and Ron Stoppable show.
