I think the boys names are very classic names and work together, but the girls give me an elfish/[name_m]King[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] vibe that is very different from the other three.

I love [name_m]Canaan[/name_m] [name_m]Maximus[/name_m]! I think [name_m]Canaan[/name_m] is such an underused, but familiar sounding name. So handsome. My favourite nickname for [name_m]Canaan[/name_m] would be [name_m]Cane[/name_m]/[name_m]Cain[/name_m]/[name_m]Kane[/name_m]. I think it goes great with your sibset. I like that it’s an obscure Bible (place) name, like your other boys. And I love all your children’s names!
I think it goes with the other names fine. When I first read it fast though I read it as Canine [name_m]Maximus[/name_m] and thought of a Great [name_u]Dane[/name_u]. But since I love dogs madly, that’s not the worst thing in the world.

[name_m]Canaan[/name_m] [name_m]Maximus[/name_m] is great! The most obvious nn to me is [name_m]Cane[/name_m], but I’m not sure that will appeal to you if you like the Biblical aspect of the names. Maybe [name_u]Cai[/name_u] as an alternative? I don’t think [name_m]Canaan[/name_m] really needs a nickname though.
I agree with this. I definitely think [name_m]Canaan[/name_m] [name_m]Maximus[/name_m] works with the boys names, but the boys and girls names don’t seem to fit together. I also like the suggestion of [name_u]Cam[/name_u] for a nickname.
