Yeah we had also such names like kaka, lala, mama but now a days no one use such names. Now a days like bhai jan, school bacha, jan lala, gran bacha, khog dada, khan lala, drund dada, gul dada, khaista lala, and many more such names are used. In our areas you can't call an elderly person with his name no matter who he is lol.

my dad tried to get my younger siblings to call me Lala, but Im not with that. They call me by my name

[farishta]

^ Lol ptsh my siblings just call me by my name ^.^ I would freak out if i woke up one day and heard them call me something else :S

[torkham]

i have two brothers few years younger, and they have always called me lala, or lala jan. to this day they call me lala, and i know one smokes but never in front of me
no one in my family calls older by their name unless referring and even then, tror, kaka, etc is added.

our way of adab i have taught my son too.

I don't have my younger siblings. I am the youngest but my niece and nephews call me gran. and whats weird in this name ?

[Khostai]

ow why don't you say that first, becuase you said they call you gran bacha=beloved boy, that is weird when someone younger that you cals you a boy but now you say that you are the youngest thats kind of make sence now.

zargi :D

zargi :D

is it not strange name ?

[IamDZJ]

they call me hercules. lol.
regardless of our age, we have always been more like buddies than siblings which is the way i like it. i would rather have my siblings have a friendly relationship with me than call me something that sounds artificial or forced. sometimes they call me shorty. lol.

Mine is gul

"badi"
Some of you might have heard this word, other pashtuns use it as a title for marwats. But actually in marwato pashto it is more or less equalent for lala and is used for mashars of any age..e.g if the name of an old man is aslam, then i would call him 'aslam badi' out of respect....
