Why would you want to do this for 110 circuits? You will effectivly limit your
outlets to 1/2 of the circuit capacity, by doubling the load on the neutral
wire. Each 110 circuit should have it's own hot and neutral from the box.
Only with 220 circuits could you have a common neutral, which usually isn't
actually used much, except for devices which are part of the 220 machine,
like lights on a stove.
