Canaan or Merritt

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone, I am stuck between 2 names for a 3rd boys name
[name_m]Canaan[/name_m] [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] [name_m]Pierce[/name_m] or [name_u]Merritt[/name_u] [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] [name_m]Graham[/name_m]

For reference, the other names in the sibset are
Boys:
[name_m]Franklin[/name_m] [name_m]Zachary[/name_m] [name_u]Carter[/name_u] (nn [name_u]Frankie[/name_u])
[name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] [name_m]Donovan[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u]

Girls:
[name_u]Harper[/name_u] [name_f]Elyse[/name_f] [name_f]Monet[/name_f]
[name_u]Monroe[/name_u] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] [name_f]Elaine[/name_f]

I would like to hear your votes!

WHile i love the sound of [name_m]Canaan[/name_m] (and great middle names for it too btw) it strikes me as very religious and his brothers names do not. Because of that I lean more towards [name_u]Merritt[/name_u] personally. Either way it flows just fine as a sib set.

I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] Caanan. I think Merit sounds better with the other names.

I love your other childrens names!

I really like both combos you’ve put together. I think I prefer [name_m]Canaan[/name_m] though. I would prefer it spelt [name_m]Cannon[/name_m], but I can see why some people dislike it that way.
