Aishwarya and Abhishek Bachchan’s 'Beti B' is yet to get a name.

After the birth of his daughter on November 16, Abhishek Bachchan could hardly contain the happiness of donning the new role and he readily accepted the name 'Beti B' suggested to him by a friend on twitter.

Grandfather Amitabh Bachchan kept referring her as 'little one' in all his blog and tweets.

Since the birth, Bachchan junior has asked fans to suggest names with 'A' for the new member on a micro-blogging site. Even Amitabh admitted that they are still looking for a name with 'A'.

Amitabh's father, Harivansh Rai Bachchan, had named his other two grandchildren. And since the task has now come down on to them, the family is waiting for an appropriate name.

Amitabh Bachchan decided to call her 'Bitiya' till they get a proper name for her, reports Hindustan Times.

Grandfather Amitabh has been spending a lot of time with this grandchild. He was unable to do so with his other grandchildren as they live in Delhi. He also admits that he couldn't give much time to his own kids when they were growing up due to his busy schedule. But Big B is making up for all the lost moments with this new member. He took a month-and-a-half break to be with Ash's daughter.

Aishwarya's baby completed one month and fans took to twitter to wish them all well.

Fans eagerly wait for Beti B's naming ceremony as the family is still struggles to finalise a name.

There are reports that the search for the name will come to an end in December during a very private ceremony being organized by the Bachchans.

A catering service provider who got contract for the ceremony said that there would be only vegetarian food for the private ceremony to be held at "Pratiksha."

People believe that the name deciding responsibility has been given to Big B, but the superstar has denied the point.

"And I keep thanking all those who suggest names for the little one .. we are still considering ..there must be unanimous consent !!" Amitabh Bachchan tweeted.

The entire Bachchan family is busy playing host to hundreds of relatives and friends.

Meanwhile Aishwarya has decided to take a year-long break to give priority to her doe-eyed daughter as she wants to spend more time with her.

Her silver screen comeback with Sanjay Leela Bhansali has to take a back seat till then.

Rumors surrounding the actress indicated that Bhansali met up with the actress and convinced her to work on his pet project 'Bajirao Mastani'.

There are also reports that the actress is said to be making a cameo appearance in Rajinikanth's new film 'Kochadaiyaan'.
