Beti Bachchan gets ‘A’ name

If close friends of actor Abhishek Bachchan are to be believed then Beti B finally has a name and it apparently starts with double ‘AA’. One of Abhishek’s closest friends has also revealed that the name would be “not long and sweet”.

“We were speaking to Abhishek and he described that the family took a very methodical approach when deciding the name of the baby. In fact, the way they went about it is a real example on how a name can be decided. I am going to do the same, when I have a baby,”  says the friend.

According to this actor friend of Abhishek’s, everybody in the family came up with suggestions about the baby names and all the suggestions were carefully tabulated into a list. “Now, I want to see the list. Trust me that list has all kinds of amazing names. When the list was formed, they then narrowed down the names,” the friend adds.

After the list was narrowed down, apparently there were only three names that came tops. “All the names were with A, and everybody approved of two names in it. The names were first approved by Aishwarya,” reveals the source. According to the source, Ash’s parents are also fond of the name.

“I can’t tell you who has given the name and if I tell you, Abhishek will beat me up. But trust me, like any other family everybody wants Amitabh Bachchan to choose the name,” said the friend.

Up until the time of going to press yesterday, Abhishek hadn’t revealed the name on Twitter or otherwise yet, though sources say that he will be doing that sometime soon.
