Canvasser is an obscure name. Instead of suggesting a better name, I will
suggest some other obscure names. How about Newport? The city of Newport,
R.I. is known for its beautiful mansions, which are buildings, and like
Camel, it is a cigarette brand. How about Stationary Traveler? Buildings
are normally stationary, while camels normally travel. Also, this is the
title of an album by the progressive rock group Camel. How about Notre
Dame? Camels have backs similar to the Hunchback of Notre Dame's, and
Notre Dame was a building. How about Winnebago? Like a Camel, it is used
for transportation, and like a building, you can live inside it.

In general, names should be less obscure than Canvasser or any of my
obscure suggestions, and any name used for a piece should work within the
context of the game it is used in. The name of Canvasser doesn't seem to
work well in a context that includes the usual Chess pieces with their
usual names.
