Nicknames

[Casper]

As a boy, I had a hokkien nickname which I was told meant 'little monkey'
(I spoke malay and english but no hokkien). It sounded like - lau kau kian. Can someone tell me if this is correct or was it a joke?

Hi Casper

Yes, 老猴囝 lau7 kau5 kia*2 means "little monkey" or "monkey child" (Malay: anak monyet).
