After welcoming her first child in late July, new mom Zooey Deschanel has finally revealed her baby girl’s name.

The New Girl star and her husband, Jacob Pechenik, made the official announcement Monday (October 19) at the Rock the Kasbah premiere in New York City.

“It’s Elsie…” Deschanel, 35, told PEOPLE, while Pechenik finished, “Otter.” She added, “Like the animal,” the actress said, with her husband adding, “Sea otter!”

Elsie Otter is the first child for the pair, who arrived in late July in Austin, Texas. The private couple announced both their marriage and their daughter’s birth in August.

While promoting her new film, Deschanel shared a few details about Megan Fox‘s guest appearance on her hit show New Girl while she finishes up her maternity leave.

“I’m super excited — we get to do one episode together. Essentially, [my character Jess] gets on jury duty and has to be sequestered, so the roommates rent out her room for a few weeks,” she shared. “I think [Megan’s] going to be fantastic.”

Watch for Deschanel to light up the big screen in Rock the Kasbah, which opens this Friday.
