I don’t know if this is a family thing or an Afghan/Pashtun cultural thing but in my family we all name our uncles and aunts specific names like: Gol-kaka Shazada-mama Nani-khala Ama-qand etc
How common is this and is an universal Pashtun thing? Kandahari thing? I don’t think it is just a family thing because i heard it from people all over the country but most of the people i know are from Kandahar. Do farsiwans have the same thing? I just really wondered.
Generally everyone has their own nickname for younger people and one from their inlaws and one used by their parents. I was not even allowed to call people with the same first name as my grandparents by their first name. I really wonder how common this is ? I also remember my cousin had the same first name as someone’s grandmother and this person always called her by another name.
