To me, the idea of someone's nickname being "Pops" is like someone's nickname being "Daddy" or "Gramps". The only case in which it would make sense is if being used by the person's grandchild or if, when he is old, he is seen as a grandfather by the majority of the community. You know, those people that are kind of like everyone's honourary grandparent! But I certainly wouldn't endorse using it on a child or young person.
