Can an electron and a proton have a love-child named Neutron?

In summary, an electron and a proton cannot have a love-child named Neutron. This is because neutrons are made up of three quarks, two of which are down quarks found in protons and one up quark found in electrons. Therefore, neutrons cannot be formed by the combination of an electron and a proton.

... so bear with me.

I recently decided that I am an electron, and that my other half is a proton. So, if we had a love-child, would Neutron be an appropriate baby-name?

Thank you, I hope someone can help me!
