IIRC, I have never written a Lois/Sam interaction, so I am not a "Daddy" user in fanfic. I think I only once called my own father "Daddy" as an adult; it was in the conversation in which he told me that he had terminal cancer. I'll freely admit that the shock of the news made me regress emotionally for a few minutes to the extent that I used the childhood epithet.
FWIW, I spent my entire childhood in upstate New York and had been living in Maryland for a bit over a year when he broke the news.
Joy,
