  The proof for using the Kunyah:

The Book of Adab (Good manners)
Saheeh al-Bukhaaree

Chapter: The statement of the Prophet: "Name yourselves by my name, but do not call yourselves by my Kunyah."

    [207] Narrated Abu Hurairah: Abul-Qaasim (The Prophet) said: "Name yourselves by my name, but do not call yourselves by my Kunyah."


Chapter: A child may be given a Kunyah, and one may be given a Kunyah before having children.

    [222] Narrated Anas: The Prophet was the best of all people in character. I had a brother called Abu 'Umair, who I think, had been newly weaned. Whenever he (that child) was brought to the Prophet, the Prophet used to say, "O Abu 'Umair! What did an-Nughair (nightingale) (do)?" It was a nightingale which he used to play with. Sometimes, the time of prayer became due while he (the Prophet) was in our house. He would order that the rug underneath him be swept and sprayed with water and then he would stand up (for the prayer) and we would line up behind him, and he would lead us in prayer.
