Now the new arrival, who was born at Paignton Zoo last month, can meet her public with a name which means a lucky heroine in Czech.

All five options were Czech, because Otilie's mother was born in the Czech Republic.

Otilie was the choice of 39 per cent of our online voters. Kalena had 32 per cent of the vote, Dasa 13 per cent and Ruza and Eliska eight per cent each.
