Kareena Kapoor had revealed that Saif wanted to name their son Faiz but she insisted on the name Taimur. “Of course, there was trolling but at the same time, there was an immense support from the people we were getting, not that trolls matter to us that much but it was our choice. The day before I was going to the hospital for delivery, I had a talk with Saif and he was suggesting to keep his name Faiz, he said, ‘Bebo, that is a more poetic, more romantic name’. I said ‘no, Taimur means iron and if I give birth to a son, my son is going to be a fighter, I will produce an iron man’. And yes, I proudly did so,” she said in an interview in 2018.
