I love Maxwell/Max, but your girls names are really not doing anything for me. I love unique names, but I like these names to be strong and classy as well. Shanade just screams trendy and made up to me. Tallulah is lovely on its own, there is no need for lilac/sky (???). How about Jonnica, Felicity, Naomi, Celeste, Lux, Lara, Cheyanne, or Bronwyn? Not sure if thats exactly what you're looking for, but I think those names are much stronger than Shanade.

Is Shanade the phonetic spelling of the Irish name Sinead? If so I prefer the original spelling but I understand that it would make pronunciation easier spelt your way. I love Max and Tallulah is cute (especially with nn Lulu).

Some suggestions you might like:
Talia
Tatiana
Saffron
Charmaine (pn Shar-maine)
Lola
Chantelle

Please, please, please don't spell it Shanade. I'm hoping that this is a name that you heard somewhere and didn't know the proper spelling for it and this is your guess. Because it is the exact phonetic spelling for the Irish name Sinead, which is lovely. I have long loved Sinead, it's a beautiful name, but this Shanade spelling makes me cringe. It looks to me exactly as I said before -- like someone heard the name and had no idea the history behind it and spelled it phonetically. The Sinead spelling is not only correct, it's so much prettier than the phonetic spelling. As is true, imo, for all of the Irish names that have phonetical American spellings (you might like some of these as well if you like Sinead)

A friend of mine has a girl named Khalia (ka lee a) she named her after the father Khalim (ka leem. I thought you might like these names. But the way things are now a days A weird name would be Ann or Susan.

Luckily, Annie pretty much covered everything I'd wanted to say, so I'll just agree with her. Sinead is a great name ... Shanade, not so much. Please stick with the original spelling. I think most people will be able to pronounce it correctly. ;)
