OK, but Knight is also a surname, which its bearers could of course change if they wanted to, but probably hadn't chosen in the first place. Knight as a fn, however, is too ambitious. And, in the UK anyway, I am enjoying the prospect of Mr Knight Smith being an exemplary citizen and on the Honours list, giving rise to the Goon-show comedy of 'Arise, er, Sir Knight'; even the most self-disciplined of monarchs might well giggle.
