Days after Peter Andre had decided on a name for his newborn daughter, he stepped in to help a struggling Joe Wicks.
It appears that there is no greater task than deciding what to call your bundle of joy. And no one knows this better than celebrities, who are notorious for giving their children strange names.
Now the nation’s favourite PE teacher is joining the ranks of perplexed parents.
The British presenter, 38, has been married to former glamour model Rosie Jones since 2019, and the couple has three children: Indie, five, Leni, one, and Marley, three.
In January, the happy couple revealed that they were expecting a new addition to their growing family. But, with six weeks to go, they still face one huge challenge: the dreaded name.
In an Instagram post to his 4.7million followers on Wednesday Joe shared a mirror selfie of her heavily pregnant with the caption: ‘Only 6 weeks to go. Still looking for some baby names. Got any ideas you can share with us?’
Naturally, the comments were flooded with helpful suggestions from adoring fans including reality star and singer Peter.
‘Arabella Rose,’ he wrote, with a laughing emoji. ‘It’s tough isn’t it? Congrats though.’
Sound familiar? That’s right, Peter, 51, chaotically offered the name of his own baby after it took him and his wife Dr Emily MacDonagh over a month to decide what to call their third child together.
‘It’s taken a while but after lots of deliberation we’ve finally decided. Arabella Rose Andréa,’ Emily wrote on Instagram on May 2, alongside some pictures of the small one.
Although it looks like the Mysterious Girl hitmaker left the ultimate decision up to his wife, separately commenting: ‘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:).’
After giving her the long-awaited name, the Australian pop artist said that the inspiration came from within her own household.
Peter has a 10-year-old daughter, Amelia, and a six-year-old son, Theo, with Emily. He has two children with his ex-wife Katie Price: Junior (18) and Princess (16).
The I’m A Celebrity star said: ‘Her name suits her perfectly and Rose is what we initially called Millie for the first few weeks.’
He also suggested Belle and Bella as possible nicknames.
Even if the name Arabella Rose is no longer in use, the Body Coach and Rosie had plenty of options to choose from.
Fellow health influencer Jacqueline Hooton added her two pence, joking: ‘I’m voting for Jacqueline if it’s a girl. I might be biased.’
Others offered anything from Orla and Etienne to Dave and Gary, depending on the baby’s gender (which is still unknown).
The pair has been candid about the highs and lows of their pregnancy.
Joe disclosed earlier this month, when Rosie was about 20 weeks pregnant, that she had been taken to the hospital to have her appendix removed.
Appendicitis can endanger both the mother and the baby if not removed as soon as possible after diagnosis.
‘She and the baby are all good,’ Joe posted on social media after the ordeal. ‘She’s on the mend now.’
In recent weeks, Joe has also had to put out flames at work. In April, he posted a three-minute explanation video after being chastised by charity ADHD UK for suggesting that the behavioural problem was caused by ‘ultra-processed foods’.
