How long is everybody going to refer to Cheryl as "Cole" instead of "Tweedy" or are the XF people afraid that the GBP won't know who she is when she's called Tweedy again?

Alliteration is catchier.
Also because to people not in England, she'll always be known as Cole.

So if she re-marries? Not a good move to hold onto her ex's handle is it?

Besides, I think professional women should always hold onto their maiden name - gets too complicated the number of divorces many have.

I remember it being put about that she couldnt wait to get rid of the name cole. I read it quite recently i think. Maybe Tweedy reminds to many people of Biffa. You know the girl before the sainthood.

She can take any future husband's name if she wants but for her career, she'll be Cole. A bit like Louis is Michael Vincent when he's at home!

I'd assume that it's because her first solo album was released under the name Cole.

Cole = Nations sweetheart
Tweedy = Toilet attendant assault

(And Cole sounds more sophisticated too...)

This in a nutshell.

Cheryl Tweedy has a conviction for assault, Cheryl Cole is a popstar.

Cole is much more saleable - especially if she tries to make waves overseas.

So she married the love rat not only to shut up accusations of racism, but to get a better, more saleable name... makes me wonder how anybody can still have an ounce of respect for her

Many divorced women choose to keep their ex husbands name. Why should Cheryl be any different?

She's not exactly in the same league as Tina Turner.

Maybe more at home with the likes of ...

It's very normal to keep your married named except for if u remarry, why should Cheryl be different, just because she's famous or what??? My mum kept her married name so we would have the same surname, cheryl's keeping her's cause that's how she is know in her carreer. I live in Denmark and 90 % of the population would have no clue who Cheryl Tweedy is!

Tweedy sounds like the kind of sir name that would get you picked on at school.

Don't forget the name Tweedy is often associated with this fine upstanding fellow:

Crikey I had forgotten about him, lol. Definately something to steer clear from then, lol.

Also, Cole does sound posh, Tweedy doesn't.

Why Hitler and not Adolf?

I'm guessing Cheryl Cole is much better than Tweedy

Cheryl Tweedy got dragged before the courts but Cheryl Cole is beyond reproach.

Cheryl Cole isn't alliteration - different sounds.
