I really can't even begin to properly explain this because it's just so many layers of intuition. No, you absolutely cannot have a line break in your name. That's not a letter. That said, I'm fully prepared for someone to give me an example of some writing system that uses line breaks for unique purposes apart from spaces.

Chaotic neutral response: A line break is just white space.

Most languages use white spaces

its not just a white space. Sometimes it entails a white space, when theres still space on that line. Sometimes it does not.
