Yesterday YouTube fans rejoiced as everyone’s favourite power couple Zoe Sugg and Alfie Deynes revealed they’d FINALLY welcomed their little one to the world.
And after falling in love with their gorgeous baby girl – those pics are to DIE for – our attentions were caught by her unique name.

While Ottilie might not be your bog standard name in the UK, it’s actually a popular German name – the female version of Otto, meaning, ‘prosperous in battle’, ‘riches’, ‘prosperous’ or ‘wealth’.

“We’ve got one in mind that we really, really like, but I want to see her little face beforehand.”
The name is pronounced phonetically, as ‘Ott-o-ly’, and is often shorted to Otti.
