Peter Andre and his wife Emily MacDonagh recently revealed the sweet name they had given to their newborn daughter after deliberating for weeks.
After "lots of deliberation" and suggestions from fans over on his Instagram page, Andre finally shared that the couple had decided to name their daughter Arabella Rose Andre.
Since the name reveal and soaking in all of the newborn cuddles, Andre has recently shared that her name was inspired by the sweet nickname they had for their eldest in the weeks she was born.
During his latest column for OK! Magazine, he noted: "A couple of weeks ago I told Emily it was her turn to choose a baby name since she’d brought our baby into the world.
"Emily wanted us to decide together, but when she suggested the name Arabella Rose, I instantly thought, 'That’s so beautiful'. I suppose we’ll call her Bella or Belle for short."
Touching upon the significance behind the moniker, Andre added: "Her name suits her perfectly and Rose is what we initially called Millie for the first few weeks. Our family feels complete."
MacDonagh was the first to announce her name, and, alongside two photos of Arabella, she wrote: "It’s taken a while but after lots of deliberation we’ve finally decided. Arabella Rose Andréa."
Proud of his wife and new addition to the family, Andre added to his own feed: "I think you’ve chosen a beautiful name @dr_emily_official Arabella Rose Andréa I LOVE it. And I love her.. and you of course."
Fans of the couple who have been dying to hear the name were quick to comment on the post, as one expressed: "Gorgeous name, gorgeous family- congratulations to you both."
Another joked: "Lovely name. Will be interesting when Amelia and Arabella both receive mail for Miss A Andrea when they’re old enough though."
Peter explained he let his wife decide the name of their third child
"You have both chosen the best names @peterandre," a third penned before another simply said: "Gorgeous name."
The couple already have daughter Amelia, 10, and six-year-old son Theo, whilst Andre shares son Junior, 18, and Princess, 16, with his ex-wife Katie Price.
Before naming their daughter, the couple had been considering the Welsh name Seren, with the popstar admitting: "Honestly, I had one of my cousins ring me going, 'Have you got a name but you’re just not telling anyone?'.
"I said, 'No, literally.' Really, this happened with my daughter Millie. We called her Rose until we had to register her six weeks later, and then we realised Rose didn’t suit her.
