Zooey Deschanel and her husband welcome baby No. 2!

Zooey Deschanel and her husband, Jacob Pechenik, have welcomed their second child together and have also given this little one an animal name.

The New Girl star gave birth to a baby boy last week and she and her producer hubby decided to give him an animal name just like his big sister.  Elsie Otter's younger brother's name is Charlie Wolf.

“Zooey, Jacob and their daughter, Elsie, are overjoyed to welcome the newest member of their family,” Deschanel's rep told People.

We know what you're thinking. You're glad that everyone is happy and well but what's with the animal names?

Well the actress explained the reasoning behind that when she appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Regarding Elsie's name Deschanel said, “I love animals so much. And we love otters because they’re so cute and playful and fun.”

It's safe to assume that she and Pechenik are fans of wolves as well.

Congrats on the new addition to your family!
