The Blank Park Zoo announced that the seal's name would be Lucy. The other finalists, chosen by the zoo after allowing people to name options, were Rose, Desi and Penny.
"We are sure she has given us her" seal of approval "for the name," said Ryan Bickel, spokeswoman for the zoo. "Lucy is an abbreviation of Lucille, she has grown up and is very vocal."
Lucy can be seen by visitors to the zoo in a small pool located at the back of the outdoor area for seals. She will eventually move to the largest pool.
