Default Kiki Cuyler pronunciation

I hate bringing old threads back to life, but I saw a post recently about the mispronunciation of Lajoie in the American Greed thread and then...during some research on Kiki Cuyler I came across his bio in SABR and my mind was blown.

Kiki Cuyler's nickname rhymes with "eye-eye" and his last name is more like "Kyler". So it's Kai Kai Kyler. All this time I thought it was "Key-Key Cooyler". How he got his nickname is described in the first paragraph of the link below. Awesome!
