Coronation Street star Jennie McAlpine reveals heartwarming name choice for third child in 'Very Corrie' connection
Coronation Street luminary Jennie McAlpine has opened up about her third child's name, a heartwarming revelation she's held close since welcoming her bundle of joy six months ago. The actress, renowned for her portrayal of the beloved Fiz Stape on the iconic soap, is now prepared to share her newfound joy with the world, and the chosen name resonates with a «very Corrie» connection.
A Baby's Name with Significance
Jennie McAlpine, aged 38, and her husband Chris Farr, welcomed their third child, a delightful addition to their family just days before Easter. Choosing to keep the news under wraps until now, Jennie has unveiled that they've bestowed the name "Doris" upon their cherished baby girl. This moniker complements their existing brood, which includes eight-year-old Albert and four-year-old Hilda.
Choosing a Name: The Corrie Way
Anticipating their new arrival, the couple embarked on a journey to select a name that would encapsulate their child's identity. The gender remained a surprise until birth, prompting them to curate a list of potential names for both boys and girls. Their eldest, Albert, engaged earnestly in the process, leading to an intriguing conundrum. Jennie shared, «There were a lot of boys’ names discarded, mainly because of football. Albert is a Manchester United fan and I think he left us with about two boys’ names to choose from.»
A Connection to the Corrie Legacy
«Doris,» a name replete with familial significance, aligns seamlessly with «Albert» and «Hilda.» Jennie's choice holds a unique charm, enriched by its connection to the world of Coronation Street. The actress elucidated that her decision to name her daughter «Doris» is interwoven with the soap's history.
