Chantelle Houghton and Alex Reid reveal baby name

Oh and it’s a corker! Say hello to little baby Dolly

Tweet
Posted: 24 July 2012

Chantelle Houghton is 11 weeks pregnant with Alex Reid's baby
Chantelle's baby name is a-dolly-able!

After weeks of speculation, reality stars Chantelle Houghton and Alex Reid have announced the name of their baby girl.

Drum roll please… it's Dolly Reid!

“We have finally decided on a name for the baby, she’s called Dolly!,” Chantelle wrote in her column for New! magazine.

“It’s actually the original name Alex and I liked in the very beginning and we’ve gone back to it.”

MFM have to admit the name is ridiculously cute, but what was the inspiration for it?

Is Alex Reid a secret fan of Dolly Parton? Imagine him training while rocking out to the classic ‘9-5.’ 

Maybe the couple took inspiration from fellow celeb mum Sheree Murphy, who named her fourth child Dolly.

The Big Brother star admitted it was a struggle to pick a name for their first-born.

“We loved the name Parker but it’s a bit masculine. I thought it was a bit like Victoria Beckham’s daughter’s name Harper,” said Chantelle.

“I really liked Piper as well but I just don’t think she looks like either of them, so I’ve ruled them out.”

Although the name does have the ‘aw’ factor, we’re just not sure if Dolly is grown-up name material. Still… Dolly Reid does have a ring to it!

Chantelle and her fiancé recently introduced their daughter to the world in a magazine photoshoot.
