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

It's also DP's baby!

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

White Knight of the ....

Style it out. Grin

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

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

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

No of course you can't.

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

AllTheLight · 02/02/2017 17:22

No you can't!! Go with just yours.

BookNut · 02/02/2017 17:18

Whight maybe as a compromise?

Tanaqui · 02/02/2017 17:16

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

ErrolTheDragon · 02/02/2017 17:15

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

FannyWisdom · 02/02/2017 17:14

No you can't.

KlingybunFistelvase · 02/02/2017 17:14

Wight maybe?

originalmavis · 02/02/2017 17:13

Choose just one!
