Zooey Deschanel finally revealed the name of her daughter three months after giving birth to the healthy baby girl. The "New Girl" star and her husband Jacob Pechenik named their daughter Elsie Otter, according to People.
"Like the animal," the actress explained while her husband added, "Sea otter!"
Elsie Otter is the first child for Deschanel, 35, and Pechenik, 42, who secretly married in June. Deschanel gave birth to her daughter in Austin, Texas, the same location the couple was married and where Pechenik, a producer, is based.
Deschanel made her first red carpet appearance Monday night since she gave birth. The slimmed-down actress looked gorgeous in a sparkly black off- the-shoulder Lela Rose dress. While the new mom did look fantastic at the premiere of "Rock the Kasbah," she previously told Cosmopolitan that she was not in any rush to get into a bikini after she gave birth.
"Haven't we all seen those pictures of a sexy new mom in a bikini after one month?" Deschanel said. "I will not be that person. I've always gone my own course and never been someone who had the need to be super skinny. I like a healthy look."
While Deschanel is on maternity leave with Elsie Otter, Megan Fox is filling in for her on her hit TV show "New Girl."
Season 5 of "New Girl" returns to Fox in January.
