Cannon is a family surname and incidentally so is Ball. I guess I could see Cannon as a child’s name though I would do a double take if I heard it and wouldn’t use it myself.
Travis is a bit 90s but meeting a kid called Travis I wouldn’t find odd. My DH has a similarly dated name but for a different decade.

I think I wouldn't have an issue with Cannon as the middle name, honoring family surname.

Cannon isn't bad although I wouldn't use it. I like it better than Travis, which sounds like an overly confident millenial in blue jeans trying to schmaltz a younger woman. Canon is a fun guilty pleasure with the tie in to the accepted lore in fictional universes.

Just a surname. And not that bad. Better than Conan or Coman.

Totally usable; the history of Saint Conan is super funny:

I'd rather have a Conan too.

I wouldn’t, but ultimately I’d say yes. I don’t hate it. I prefer Cannon.

I would also use Conan over Cannon.

BA means birth announcement. It's an abbreviation used with some frequency on this board:

A family surname perhaps?
I went to school with a girl whose surname was Cannon, spelled this way. That's where my mind went first.

Possible :)

Travis would have been better. Cannon is ugly

Eh, doesn't sound bad to me, kinda reminds me of Gannon which I like. It's a lot better than Hunter anyway.

Odd. For some reason it makes me think more of the camera (spelled Canon, but still) than the actual word. It's actually quite name-y. I hate violence but for some reason I don't think of cannons when I hear Cannon. Maybe because of the brand and because of people saying something is "canon". Odd, I know. I don't hate it as much as I should but I strongly dislike it.
1
Cannon is terrible.

Cannon would be okay if it wasn't, you know, something you shoot missiles out of. Travis is very dated.
Also reminds me that I was watching true crime videos the other day and one of the murder victims they talked about was named Gannon.

I know a family with the last name of Gannon. Hopefully, they aren't closely related.
I don't think of cannons as the same as a rocket launcher or a bazooka, so I don't connect them with missiles in the way that you seem to. A howitzer is sort of a cross between a cannon and a mortar, and they are still in use, so I guess cannons aren't totally obsolete. A couple of months ago a 155 mm howitzer artillery made history by successfully shooting down an incoming cruise missile. Go cannon!

I just mean missile like any projectile, not necessarily one that explodes :P
Although I also think of Pachelbel's Canon

Was that the boy probably killed by his stepmother? I think I watched one of those videos too, I thought it was an odd name.
1
Yeah, that's the one. It made me think of Zelda but I guess that's Ganon
1
What's wrong with that? I like it. Travis especially. Cannon not so much, but it's a perfectly acceptable boy's name.
1
Yeah, not a fan xD
Why Cannon? Have they said?
It is Cannon as in... a cannon (the weapon) or Cannon (the camera company)?
Travis is ugly, but at least it's a name...

The camera company is actually Canon, with one n.
Not so much a friend as an acquaintance, just seemed easier to write 'friend' in the subject line.
