Oh dear. Yeah, I think you'd better just use yours.

Wight, Whitnight, or possibly even Whytenight would be better!

'Wight' nowadays seems to be used for some sort of ghost or undead thing - not sure that'd be a good idea.

No of course you can't.

Umm not really. White Knight if you must the other way round just looks like you've tried to hide it badly.
I like the idea of a mash up of your names though - you could all change to it then

Call the child something like Galahad, or Lancelot and it'll be fine.
Just style it out.

Style it out. Grin

Just use your last name. It's your baby, no reason why you shouldn't.

White Knight of the ....

It's also DP's baby!

Not keen on the idea of a mashup. I guess I'll rethink

Haha Desolate!

OP, no I'm afraid you can't really. Pick one and use the other as a middle perhaps? Or is there another family surname on either side which could be double-barrelled less... amusingly? Grin

Awwww. Kind of cute. A wee baby white knight. Loving the idea of going with a Camelot theme...

Oh come on. Guinevere White Knight.
She would be so damn cool.

No, don't do it, it's like calling your child Burger King.

Our old tumble dryer was by a company called white night! I immediately thought of that!

Double barrel surnames are ridiculous and un needed.
I'm not married and my kids have taken my OHs surname. Doesn't mean anything that my surname wasn't used.

Why would you just use his name?

I like my surname lmao and really want to keep it.

How about your mum's maiden name (if it's different to yours) double barrelled with your dps?

Report
EduCated · 02/02/2017 18:45

Or DP's mums maiden name and OP's name?

Unfortunately it is the sort of combination that will bring a lifetime of comments!

Just do it. I have a friend who double barrels her Green with her husband's Pepper. Why not?
