[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

Rhett Butler, Gone with the Wind ... SWOONETH!!!! ahem that done with no... Rhett and Brett shouldnt get too much confusion.
Hmm, that tough. I didn't think of Brett at all when I saw the name, but now that you mention it..
I don't think Rhett will have to correct people
At 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.

All I can think of is Gone With the Wind. I don't really like the sound or look of it, though.
What are the convulsions of a city in comparison with the insurrections of the soul?

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

I don't think anyone would hear him wrong. Rhett Butler is unescapable though.

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 actually thought of Garrett the same way, too

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.
