You only need to use class_name if the class name is not directly inferable by the association name. It doesn't hurt, it's just extra typing.
As far as the nil values, I'd check what parameters your form is actually submitting. Easy way is to add a raise params.inspect in your controller method. I'm not sure, but I'd suspect those capital letters in the fields as being problematic or potentially problematic.
