Can I deduct 100% of mortgage interest if I own with one other person, instead of splitting 50/50?

My partner and I bought a house this year and are both on the mortgage. We are not married. Can one of us deduct 100% of the mortgage interest, instead of each of us claiming half? Splitting in half ($3279 each) is not enough for either of us when itemizing to go over the standard deduction.
