The Saturdays star Frankie Bridge would drop her surname and release music under just her Christian moniker if she was to launch a solo career.
The singer, who was known as Frankie Sandford before tying the knot with retired soccer player Wayne Bridge in July 2014, can't understand the outcry over her bandmate Una Foden reverting back to using her maiden name, Healy, in her professional life, reported Female First.
Speaking about the controversy over her friend, who wed rugby player Ben Foden in June 2012, Frankie said, "There's been such a big deal made about Una reverting to her maiden name and I don't get it!
"She's still got her married name in private but as a solo artist, she's just using Healy because that's what everyone knew her as before. If I went solo, I would probably just be Frankie.
