If London Bridge which isn't on a bridge is a bridge why not
Blackfriars which Is?

The name Blackfriars was first used in 1317 (as Black Freres from the
French 'frère' meaning 'brother') and derives from the black cappa
worn by the Dominican Friars who moved their priory from Holborn to
the area between the River Thames and Ludgate Hill in 1276. So
"Blackfriars" as a name would seem more appropriate than "Blackfriars
Bridge" for a station name.

Since with the TfL Station beneath the northern end of the NR station,
this facility forms an interchange. And, the South Bank is not
accessible from the TfL part, I believe it would be less confusing if
the NR station's name remains unchanged. My USD0.02.
