It seems that I was wrong about Kunya. When making a thourough search
around the net, Kunya is indeed only used with Umm, Abu etc... But the
other ones are Laqab.
So we have know the problem that as Youcef said nowadays a laqab is the
"official" laqab and it would be totally wrong to use it as a nickname.
But Kunya is not really right as in the eastern Arabic region this Abu
thingie is very wide-spread. So using a Kunya in the app is indeed
false. But laqab too!
Any suggestions here?
