The 40-year-old TV personality and his fiancée Emily MacDonagh, 23, welcomed their first child into the world last month, but had initially struggled to pick a moniker for the little girl.
After consulting with his older kids, Junior, eight, and Princess Tiaamii, six, the couple were able to come to a decision on what to name their four-week-old baby girl.
Proud parents: Peter Andre and his fiancee,
Emily MacDonagh, have revealed they have named their four-week-old baby
daughter Amelia
The big reveal: The 40-year-old TV personality announced the happy news via his Twitter page and official website
Peter wrote on his Twitter page and official website on Monday: 'Ok FINALLY we have a name for our beaut of a baby girl. Ems, J , P and I have decided on Amelia :):):).
'So lovely fans, before you read it anywhere else, here it is. Love ya :).' (sic)
Peter revealed at the weekend he and former medical student Emily had a shortlist of classic English names they were choosing from, and he admitted at the time that Amelia was his preference.
Speaking to Jonathan Ross on his ITV chat show, he said: 'We have four names. Maybe you can help me out actually. We had Rose. I love Rose because it's English and beautiful.
'Amelia, beautiful name. Elizabeth. Alexandra. So these are the four names that we've been throwing around. I love them because they are English and they are beautiful.
'Then three days ago Emily throws another spanner in the works and says, "What about Poppy?" Poppy is a nice name.
'Then she threw in Isabella and I thought that's a nice name. So we're sort of in a bit of a pickle here.'
However, the Mysterious Girl explained he was planning to let Emily make the final decision.
He said: 'I've had two children, biological children, and this is her first, so I want her to be happy.
'My favourite is Amelia. I love that name but I want her to be happy. I love that name.'
Decision time: The couple welcomed baby daughter
Amelia into the world on January 7, and announced their engagement one
week after
While Peter has two biological children, Junior and Princess, with ex-wife Katie Price, he described himself as a 'father-of-four' on Saturday night's episode of The Jonathan Ross Show in reference to Harvey, Katie's son from her previous relationship with Dwight Yorke.
Although Peter helped raise the 11-year-old throughout his relationship and marriage to the glamour model, 35, she didn't appear to take too kindly to his claims.
One fan wrote on Twitter: 'Love how Peter Andre said he had 4 children! @MissKatiePrice eat your words!! #ProudDad #JonathanRossShow.'
Doting dad: Peter explained he took the decision
on what to name his baby daughter after consulting Princess Tiammii,
six, and Junior, eight, his two children from his relationship with
ex-wife Katie Price
To which Katie responded: 'I'm sure he has said that after the s**t he has had over it but he still hasn't seen him nearly 2 years ****
'Actions speak louder than words someone should ask him when did you last see Harvey and why don't you now! #allforshow (sic).'
Peter and Emily started dating back in July 2012 after meeting through the former Bristol University student's father, a surgeon, who operated on Peter in 2010 to remove kidney stones.

The couple welcomed their first child into the world on January 7, and announced their engagement a week later.
Speaking to OK! magazine about the proposal, Emily said: 'It was such a shock. He always said he’d like to do it before the baby was born and I just thought he’d do it after – I was happy, I didn’t need a ring, but it was amazing.'
Peter added: 'She said: "Are you serious?" and burst into tears – it was so emotional. We lay down in the nursery for ages because it was such a special room to us.'
Hitting out: Katie Price, pictured last week
with her baby son Jett, slammed Peter for describing himself as a
'father-of-four' over the weekend
Fighting back: Katie claimed Peter hasn't seen Harvey, her son from her previous relationship with Dwight Yorke, in two years
Despite being a medical student herself, Emily admitted she found childbirth harder to cope with than she thought she would.
She said: 'I’m proud of myself for getting through it. I pulled a lot of Pete’s hair out, but he’s got enough to spare. I was so happy she was healthy, it was amazing. I was looking at her perfect form and little fingernails. I kept thinking, how did we make that?'
And Peter added: 'I’d never seen anything like it, I was crying the whole way through the labour. As soon as I saw her I was a mess and crying like a baby. It was such a beautiful experience.'
Happy families: Emily and Peter initially had four names in the works; Amelia, Elizabeth, Alexandra and Rose
