How sad :(
I just got finnished watching the memorial service they had on our local channel for Darryl Kile. It was so sad. What a horrible week for St. Louis. Jack Buck, our local helicopter traffic guy, and Darryl Kile. Getting to my point, though. I thought his shildren had the most interesting names. the 5 year old twins are Cannon and Ciera, and the 11 month old is Ryker. I've heard Ciera many times before, but not the other two. I'm thinking they are probably just modern names that Flynn and Darryl heard somwhere and liked. What do you guys think?SJ

Behind Cannon and RykerSad story, TB :(Cannon is probably derived from the weapon cannon, which is derived from the Latin "Canna" meaning "reed, pipe, tube" which in turn is derived from the Greek "Kanne" meaning "reed".Ryker is probably derived from "Ryke", a Scottish version of "reach" which is related to the Old Teutonic "Reichen".

I've heard of Ryker before, but not Cannon. I like all of them though.

I actually just saw in the paper that it's spelled Kannon. Last night he threw out the ceremonial 1st pitch. He's only 5!SJ
