WHILESMITH - trouble is I can't find any others on here. I was told it was hyphernated (my Grandmother seems to have told all her family this), but in fact it is one word.

Yes Jackie B, I got the birth certificates to prove it. The family was so sure it was a double barrel name. Just trying to be posh, so I squashed that idea for them all.
