Cainan

This name undoubtedly brings to mind images of a dog due to the name's similarity to the word, 'canine' when pronounced with two sylables. However, I can't help but to be drawn to this name, which is slightly odd for me, being that I'm a cat person.
This isn't a name that I would use myself except for the prospect of a fictional character.

Also spelled Canaan. Kind of a neat name.
