And that man will wear that name with pride for the rest of his life.

Too right.

It's crazy how many people in this thread either didn't understand how endearing these pet names are or think a nickname for a family member = uneducated or some such nonsense.

My nephew called me ពូSam (pou, uncle) and I loved it. My BiL is Cambodian, I'm not. ពូ means nothing to me but when my little buddy said it it meant everything. He got a little older and one day I went to their house and he just called me "Sam" and a little bit of me broke, NGL.
