Jordan (Katie Price) and Peter Andre name their new son

Jordan (Katie Price) and her fiance Peter Andre have named their son, who was born about a week and a half ago, Junior Andre.  No idea whether Andre is his middle name (Junior Andre Andre?) or just his last name. 

Her son, Harvey, with footballer Dwight Yorke, is three.

Jordan and Peter plan to marry in September.  They have signed a six-figure deal with a magazine for exclusive coverage.  Kerry Katona will be a bridesmaid and the guestlist includes Charlotte Church and her boyfriend Gavin Henson.

Junior? I really thought they were going to give him a normal name

- Jenna on June 22nd, 2005

It’s like Andre Jr, but backward. At least they’re original.

Huh?!

“Andre” is the last name. The English tend not to be big on giving middle names, though I think it’s becoming more popular now.

His name is Junior and his last name is Andre. He does not have a middle name.

Harvey and Junior well its diffrent. I still think Carrot would have been good.

- Carine on June 22nd, 2005

Hm. Maybe Junior refers to his dad’s name, you know? Like Peter Junior?

- Maria on June 22nd, 2005

i was hoping they would give the baby a nicer name. at least hes healthy

- leanne on June 22nd, 2005

Oh, I hate that name! At least he is healthy! Did Katie ever end up having a transfusion? I hope she’s okay.

a 80 year old called junior? a business man called junior? sure… cute on a baby but geez… i just dont get them

- lucy on June 23rd, 2005

hmmm…his sounds like it’s missing something. Would have been better ‘Peter Junior’. ‘PJ’ for short.

- Clare on June 23rd, 2005

hmmm…his name sounds like it’s missing something. Would have been better ‘Peter Junior’. ‘PJ’ for short.

- Clare on June 23rd, 2005

Actually the tot has a middle name, Savva. It’s supposed to be Peter Andre’s father’s name so the tot’s full name will probably be Junior Andre Savva

- Gina on June 23rd, 2005

Hmm, always thought the English loved middle names. My husband is English and has two middle names, and so does our son…

- Joanne on June 23rd, 2005

His middle name is Savva, after Andre’s father, per The Sun.

- Marilyn on June 23rd, 2005

I am from the southern part of the United States (Georgia), and there are a lot of “Junior’s” down there, but they are all about 80+ years old. Didn’t know Junior was an English name, too. Definitely original.

- Allison on June 23rd, 2005

what a suprise they have an exclusive deal with a magazine! they are never out of magazines and sorry but its an awful name for a baby. no suprises there celebritys dont care what their kids are called.

- leanne on June 23rd, 2005

Celebrities don’t care what their kids are called? A bit harsh isn’t it? Oh and by the way, middle names are popular here in England! I have one, my sister has two, my brothers all have one and all my mates have one… Just wanted to clear that up!

- Alex on June 25th, 2005

no they don’t. its all about trying to be trendy. lets face it would everyone be talking about Jordan and Peter’s baby if it was called something like David?? doubt it. they are two attention seekers.

- leanne on June 30th, 2005

The English do love middle names!! we’ve always had them, they are becoming less popular rather than more over here, its a good way of naming baby after family member without having to call them Donald or francis!! the name junior reminds me of arnies film junior, could have been worse though.

- vikki on July 5th, 2005
