[Opinions] Rhett
I recently came across the name Rhett. I really like it, but do you think that everyone would call him Brett and he will have to correct everyone all the time? that is my fear with this name.

I like the sound of it, but the only association I can come up with is Gone With the Wind. That's not always bad - I love Scarlett!

No, it probably wouldn't get confused with Brett all that often. But he'd hear about "Gone With The Wind" almost every day, I'm sure. ('Where's Scarlett?' etc.)I still really like it, though. :b

I don't think Rhett will have to correct peopleAt least, he wouldn't down here in Texas. Not anywhere in the Southern US. Rhett Butler and all, y'know. I really like the name.~Lillian~

All I can think of is Gone With the Wind. I don't really like the sound or look of it, though.

No, Rhett is fine. There hasnt been any confusion with the two Rhett's I know and one is a girl.~Lisa~

Rhett is a very handsome name. I don't think a Rhett would have much trouble with being called Brett because of Rhett Butler.

I don't think anyone would hear him wrong. Rhett Butler is unescapable though.______________________________"....A simple I love you means more than money...."- Frank Sinatra

I like it. Hopefully, he wouldn't have to correct people very often. You could name him Everett and use Rett as a nickname, but I think that just Rhett would be fine since a lot of people are probably familiar with the name given the popularity of Gone With the Wind.

I like it. I think enough people know about Gone With the Wind that they wouldn't have a problem with mistaking it as Brett.--
