I think it's named after the famous ship, that is also the show's emblem
The following is from Wikipedia

It is named after the blue-and-white flag hoisted by a ship in port when it is ready to sail. The reasoning behind the choice of title is that the programme is intended to be a voyage of adventure and discovery for the viewers, constantly covering new topics
and not after Peter Purves relevations of the other day then?
SMP is quite correct - the Blue Peter was always flown by outward bound ships as they left harbour.

You can 'age' people by which BP prresenters they remember - I for instance go back to Christopher Trace!!!
Ah yes andy-hughes. I remember my grannie talking about him. :)
